The Fool

I guess you could say that I’ve been a fool

Broken every golden rule

I committed the crime

And I’ve done my time

And time can be so cruel

Cheap thrills and designer pills

Which kind would you like

Dirty deeds and shady deals

What you can’t buy you steal

Pick your poison, name your price

Anything you like

We’ve got what it is you need

To get you through the night

You wash your hands

But they don’t come clean

Blind your eyes but you still see

Cover your ears yet still you can hear

What is it you fear

Dirty little nasty habits

We all have a few

Skeletons deep in the closet

I know that you do

Shameful acts from hidden pasts

Can’t seem to forget

Dirty deeds on darkened streets

Fills you with regret

What you did or didn’t do

Makes a most unpleasant brew

A slowly sinking summer sun

The ever-present smoking gun

Everybody has their vice

And everybody has their price

I guess you could say that I’ve been a fool

Broken every golden rule

I committed the crime

And I’ve done my time

And time can be so cruel
