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   Erase all kinds of slavery   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 when 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
