Name: Good Sense and Safety
Duration: P00H03M16S
Description: I spontaneously broke out into song one night in my garage.I started singing "when I was a kid my dad taught me the rules of life!" It felt joyous and liberating. I was just being silly. I tried not to over think this one - I didn't even commit the words to "paper." That goes against the raging editor that lives inside me but it felt like the right move for this one.

lyrics

good sense and safety (words & music by salim nourallah)

when I was a kid my dad taught me the rules of life
yeah, when I was a kid my dad taught me these rules of life
he said, “son, number one…GOOD SENSE and SAFETY”
he said, “son, number one…always use GOOD SENSE and SAFETY”

when I was a boy my father said these rules of life
that's right
yeah, when I was a boy my father told the rules of life
he said, “son, number one…GOOD SENSE and SAFETY”
he said, “son, number one…always use GOOD SENSE and SAFETY”

avoid danger at all cost
GOOD SENSE and SAFETY
avoid risk at all cost
always use GOOD SENSE and SAFETY

follow the rules, polish your shoes, do your homework, go to school
follow the rules, polish your shoes, do your homework, go to school
do what your told, do what your told
never ask questions
do what your told, do what your told

he said, “son, number one…GOOD SENSE and SAFETY”
he said, “son, number one…always use GOOD SENSE and SAFETY”

avoid danger at all cost
GOOD SENSE and SAFETY
avoid risk at all cost
always use GOOD SENSE and SAFETY

follow the rules, polish your shoes, do your homework, go to school
follow the rules, polish your shoes, do your homework, go to school
do what your told, do what your told
yeah, never ask questions
do what your told
