Only A Fool Would Say That

Lyrics

A world become one

Of salads and sun

Only a fool would say that

A boy with a plan

A natural man

Wearing a white stetson hat

Unhand that gun begone

There's no one to fire upon

If he's holding it high

He's telling a lie

CHORUS:

I heard it was you

Talkin' 'bout a world

Where all is free

It just couldn't be

And only a fool would say that

The man in the street

Draggin' his feet

Don't wanna hear the bad news

Imagine your face

There is his place

Standing inside his brown shoes

You do his nine to five

Drag yourself home half alive

And there on the screen

A man with a dream

CHORUS

Anybody on the street

Has murder in his eyes

You feel no pain

And you're younger

Then you realize

CHORUS
