(R. Lamm)
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
