FOOL

Who d’you think you’re foolin’ with your speeches and smiles
I know you no good man but soon you’re gonna be cryin’
The guiltiness you live with ‘s gonna bite you from within
Ain’t no need in prayin’ when your soul start out burnin’
Tell me who

Who d’you think you’re foolin’

You say you know what’s good for us
But I say power made you blind

You say you’re the one we gotta trust
But hey sir I can read your mind

You can wash the blood from your hands
But you cannot wash our brains

Who d’you think you’re foolin’ you can’t keep us from thinkin’
Freedom’s got no meaning in the system you’re defendin’

You talk about democracy but wanna be a king

And the clubs and gags your policemen use won’t keep us from fightin’
Tell me who

Who d’you think you’re foolin’

Cynicism conspiracy

Put you where you stand today
Betrayin’ your friends and family
To sit upon this throne of shame

You can kill each of your enemies
But you’ll never find no peace

Who d’you think you’re foolin’ with your speeches and smiles
I know you no good man but soon you’re gonna be cryin’
The guiltiness you live with ‘s gonna bite you from within
Ain’t no need in prayin’ when your soul start out burnin’
Tell me who

Who d’you think you’re foolin’

No man should rule for another

And you’re no stronger than anyone

You’d better leave and no come back

‘cause people’s anger is boilin’ hotter and hotter
You’re gonna pay for what you’ve done
Somehow or other you’ll get punished

‘cause your soul is rotten to the stone

With pride and greed

Run run run beyond that river

Where you can do no wrong

We don’t we don’t want you no longer

We don’t we don’t need you around


Go away

And let us live our lives

Stay away

We don’t want no more lies

Hope you'll pay for what you’ve done

Yes I know you’ll pay for what you’ve done
Tell me who

Who d’you think you’re foolin’
