Lyrics
Ordinary Fools
Tell me they're joking
I don't believe a word that they say
Everyone knows
It isn't that way
(Please) help me understand
Exactly what it is they have planned
?Cause every move they make
Just leads to disaster
They're taking us down
To such a low level
They talk of redemption
They speak of the devil
They strut like they're princes
They think they're so cool
They want to convince us
They're not ordinary fools
They speak of compassion
So we will believe
What they so rationally
Try to conceive
They're certainly privileged
Look at all the things that they've bought
(But) Was buying the world
(Really) worth what it cost?
If they come to their senses
They will surely get a surprise
'Cause the most important things
Even they can not buy
They're kings of illusion
They'll make you believe
And In your confusion
You'll falsely perceive
You're free as a birdy
You are free to leave
(And) When you find out the truth
You?ll be free to grieve
Oh, they strut like they're princes
They think they're so cool
They want to convince us
They're not ordinary fools
Yea, they think they are princes
And that they?re so cool
They want to convince us
They?re no ordinary fools
