Fool’s Paradise Lyrics by The Zilis

0

I wake up in the morning, from a dream I rise
And while the city people rev up their daily lives
I stay in, listening to a song on the radio
‘Cause everybody’s trying to get up in my head
From my brothers and my sisters to the suffragettes
I’m just trying to get me some peace from the noise below
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
My telephone is ringing, I say, “Hi, it’s me”
A politician answers, says hе’s selling liberty
“Come on, son, don’t you know wе really could use your vote?”
I said, “You maybe want to try someone else instead
I do believe in the Lord, not the government
So, excuse me, but I’d very much like to go”
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
Come on, come on, come on
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
I smoke a spliff in the morning
Smoke a spliff at night
Yo, blind as a bat
Most don't ever see where it’s at
Put all their hope and faith in something that’s not even intact
As we watch it burn down
We’re just happy to be around
While all the money is collected by the pigs and clowns
So listen up to yours truly, “Melody Mike”
As I take you through the steps of living true honest life
There ain't no right and no left
There ain’t no black and no brown
The truth is there's only up or down
Take it, blind boy
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
We be livin’ in a fool’s paradise
