Fools Lyrics by The Dodos

Visiter

2008

[Verse 1]
Our fathers have been entangled in things
He's been squandering, he's been squandering
And we don't do a thing, 'cause we're busy and think
We're just wandering, we're just a-wandering like

[Refrain]
Fools, fools, fools
Fools, fools, fools
Fools, fools, fools
Fools, fools, fools

[Verse 2]
His son is his prize, he tells a few lies
He's got his father's eyes, it's in his father's eyes
And he thinks in his mind that he's just getting by
But he's a compromise, he's just a compromising

[Refrain]
Fool, fool, fool
Fool, fool, fool
Fool, fool, fool
Fool, fool, fool

[Chorus]
And the stance that we take isn't much to bear
Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
'Til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind

[Verse 3]
Now he lies on his back, and they tell him it's that
It's just a heart attack, it's just a heart attack
Too late to return to the ones that you've earned
No they don't give it back, no they don't give it back to

[Refrain]
Fools, fools, fools
Fools, fools, fools
Fools, fools, fools
Fools, fools, fools

[Chorus]
And the stance that we take isn't much to bear
Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
'Til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind

[Outro]
I've been, I've been silent
I've been, I've been silent
I've been, I've been silent
I've been, I've been silent
I've been, I've been silent
I've been, I've been silent
I've been, I've been silent
I've been, I've been silent
