lyrics

The Fool

Well, hey aren’t you the brazen one
Swimmin’ naked in a lake
Oblivious in the darkness
To venomous snakes
If you haven’t learned by now
You will never, never learn
Just keep dancing near the fire
Until your sorry feet get burned

What great penance is required
To rehabilitate the criminal
What suffering will inspire
The education of a fool
How many lashes will it take
To motivate the reprobate
Rolling in the cool mud
Like a happy-go-lucky mule

It’s a far cry too late to atone
It’s a far cry too late to atone
You're fresh out of loopholes
Bereft of mercies to be shown

You’re on the run with a smokin’ pistol
And no sense to hide
You’ve got a horse with a heart of gold
Too forlorn to ride
You’re holdin’ a stick of dynamite
Dyin’ to set her off
Better blow that bridge to kingdom come
If you make it across

What great penance is required
To rehabilitate the criminal
What suffering will inspire
the education of a fool
How many lashes will it take
To motivate the reprobate
Rolling in the cool mud
Like a happy-go-lucky mule

It’s a far cry too late to atone
It’s a far cry too late to atone
You're fresh out of loopholes
Bereft of mercies to be shown
It’s a far cry too late to atone
It’s a far cry too late to atone
You're fresh out of loopholes
Bereft of mercies to be shown
