Lyrics
How Much Should This Fool Endure? Words & Music c2005 Richard Michelson
Cover me with a sad melody
I’m drifting alone on this angry sea
A lost sailor who has lost his dream
In a prison with no will to be free
There’s no place left to flee
From this discontent and misery
No exit without a fee
No place in this world for me
How hard must you beat a fool ‘til he’s dead?
How many times do you strike him on his head?
How long do you kick him when he’s down on the floor?
How much should this fool endure ?
There’s fog behind me. There’s darkness ahead
The gamble of living is now a game of the dead
The fallacies of hope now torture my head
While blood of the lost souls stain the sheets of my bed
How hard must you beat a fool ‘til he’s dead?
How many times do you strike him on his head?
How long do you kick him when he’s down on the floor?
How much should this fool endure ?
How hard must you beat a fool ‘til he’s dead?
How many times do you strike him on his head?
How long do you kick him when he’s down on the floor?
How much should this fool endure ?
Cover me with a sad melody
I’m drifting alone on this angry sea
A lost sailor who has lost his dream
In a prison with no will to be free
