Your walls are lined with pictures of your triumphs through the years
|
Your doors are bolted tight against all wordly want and fear
|
But you left your passion and your pain with your first love back in school
|
You fool, you fool
|
|
In your penthouse high from the dirty streets, I swear you'll never find
|
The answers to the questions that muddy up your mind
|
For your window shades are drawn upon the wicked and the cruel
|
You fool, you fool
|
|
You give your share to charities without a second thought
|
And you are kind to animals for that's what you've been taught
|
But all your real emotion you proudly overrule
|
You fool, you fool
|
|
You've planned your life so carefully for society's delight
|
And still you can't quite understand why things just don't seem right
|
It's a love like fresh out homemade bread set aside to cool
|
You fool, you fool . . .
|
