lyrics

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.
