Everybody is a Fool (Young Version) 02:54
lyrics
buy track
Well some are fools who mind what others think. They paint their face to hide the ridicule. I sat beneath the lamplight of a shrink. And some don’t mind if they are named a fool. Well I don’t know about you, hon, I’d rather be the second one, I’ll do my best to keep my cool, but sometimes everybody is a fool. And Wisdom ever hides herself discreet, for only fools should think that they are wise. And wisemen walk an endless stretch of street that shrinks into a point on the horizon. The more you learn, the less you know, and I’ve sure got a ways to go ‘cause I’m the slowest kid in school, but I know everybody is a fool. Well love reveals to you your every fault, your broken heart, and every broken rule. Yes, love will teach you how to know your heart, and then you’ll know you’ve always been a fool. And some are fools to fall in love, and some, that’s what they’re scared of, still some may think that love is cruel, but I know everybody is a fool. And I may be a fool for you, but I know everybody is a fool.

Everybody is a Fool (Early Mix) 03:50
lyrics
I’m off to seek the place where wisdom hides, and lucky me, I think I’ve got a start, for only fools should think that they are wise, though sophomores and the sages look the part. The more you learn, the less you know, and I’ve sure got a ways to go. I may be the slowest kid in school, but I know everybody is a fool. The Old Soul met the Holy Fool and said, “I’ve come to you to learn your way of life. Oh, pity me, for all my life is dead, and all my peace has given way to strife.” “The fool pretends a thousand ways and dresses in a painted face to try and hide from ridicule, but I know everybody is a fool.” Well love reveals to you your every fault, your broken heart, and every broken rule. Yes, love will teach you how to know your heart, and then you’ll know you’ve always been a fool. And some are fools to fall in love, and some, that’s what they’re scared of, still some may think that love is cruel, but I know everybody is a fool. And I may be a fool for you, but I know everybody is a fool.

Friday, May 1, 2020, from midnight to midnight PDT, Bandcamp is waiving their revenue shares on all sales. That means 100% of Bandcamp sales will go directly to artists, many of whom are affected by the economic impacts of COVID-19.

I wanted to share some more BTS versions of "Everybody is a Fool." Featured is an alternate version of the artwork I created.
