Fools

Eloy


we're walking contradictions 
and toothless we try to bite 
we live up to our standards 
though we know they ain't right 
fools we always stand up to fight when nothing's left to win 
we draw the shades when we're bothered 
ignorance is our twin 

We've got our fancy but empty preconceived life 
instance of how we wondered why we're seldom satisfied 

but only the fools will applaud this strange self-deception 
but only the fools will believe in resurrection of ideals in purest form 

they're the first who have claimed their piece 
and then the first who will ask for release 

why do we sanction their means with a nod 
boasting the absolute freedom of thought 
we are fools 
we hide with pride behind tolerant words 
neglecting the fact that we've been lured 
we are fools 
we are fools 

but only the fools will applaud this strange self-deception 
but only the fools will believe in resurrection of ideals in purest form 

they're the first who have claimed their piece 
and then the first who will ask for release
