text: Spare the rod dont spare the fool
  If you take the breaks youre given
  You get to make the rules
  Take a chance and make it fast
  If you break some bones on landing
  You know youre built to last
  Fight the tide and find the shore
  If the gift horse isnt smiling
  Just learn to ride some more
  Common sense is a rule of thumb
  If the suckers throw a red flag
  Blow them all to Kingdom Come
  And take this dirty water
  Running like a river
  In and out of everything
  We helped to put together
  Take this dirty water
  Help to keep it clean
  Get back to the wellspring
  Purify the stream
  Search out days that never end
  If its only for the chance
  To feel just like a child again
  Tell a lie that speaks the truth
  If the heart becomes a prisoner
  Your soul will turn you loose
