We're all someone's fool
So what now, you're going to give up?
Because you're not wanted around
So what now, you're going to throw it all away?
Is that it? That it only takes one wound
To leave everything behind just like that
Look well into my eyes
And tell me what you see
What now, you're going to give up on everything
For nothing now?
After so much effort?
Why are you so overcome with sorrow?
What's in your blind spot?
Apart from these assholes
You know, we're all somebody's fool
The loser, the middling, the hero
The working class, the old-fashioned, the lost soul
The righteous, the crook, the generous
The skinny, the good example, the bad example
The poor, the rich, the stranger, the enemy
The friend who means well
We are all
Someone's disappointment, good fortune and hope
The balance, the asset, the absence, the crazy one
The savior, the wild, the saved
The bombshell, the hideous, the blonde
The dimwit, the joy, the shy, the ghosted
The ex, the lover, the mistress
The blood relation, the payback for sucker punches
You know
We're all someone's fool
So what, you're going to hide?
Like a child in the woods
But life is not like the movies
We dance against each other
We love and stop loving each other
And more often than not it's not very pretty
When we're alone than being in groups of two or three
If now, I'm the pillar
I who am singing for you
I'm also the weakling sometimes
You know since the beginning of time
And no matter how it turns out
We are all somebody's fool
The scratcher, the cruddy, the mean, the liar
The scandal, the queer
The fat, the really ugly, the trauma
The unspoken dream
The weird fanatic
The other one, the idol, the bastard
The numpty at school
The profound grief
We're all someone's past, present and future
The guide, the guarantor
The Frenchman, the migrant
The giant built for adventure
The underdog, the lost soul
The one whose name will be forgotten
The less good-looking encourager
The pro, the intellectual
The shame, the failure
The guy who loses his way
You know, we're all someone's fool
Man is a wolf to man
And however it turns out
We're all somebody's fool
