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 ©1974 Chicago Records, Inc.
