Done the things i said i would
Some of them were pretty good
Suddenly they changed the game
I only know it's not the same no more
I don't know what to do the rules i knew

Ain't it sad
Ain't it sad
Ain't it true
Ain't it true
Ain't it blue
Ain't it blue

The life i live is pretty nice
Of course i had to pay a price
Lots of folks depend on me
Crazy kind of slavery, what for
I don't know what to do the rules i knew

Ain't it sad
Ain't it sad
Ain't it true
Ain't it true
Ain't it blue
Ain't it blue
Ain't it blue

Sometimes i want to walk away
I felt like that just yesterday
But then this song is in my head
I try my best 'till i'm dead and gone
I don't know what to do the rules i knew

Ain't it sad
Ain't it sad
Ain't it true
Ain't it true
Ain't it blue
Ain't it blue
Ain't it blue
