Hi, Highwayman. The "Golden Rule" is "Do unto others what you would have them do unto you"--that is, treat other people the way you would like to be treated. When I'm in a certain mood, I love this cynical song--"A little knowledge serves you well, but the golden rule does not" and "The more we learn the worse we get" seem to say that as we as individuals and as a society "advance", the more we get away from our innocence, trusting and compassion for each other and the more we twist our knowledge to our own selfish ends. That's my read on it, but I didn't write the song--you'd have to ask the source.
