Fool's Paradise Lyrics

There ain't no time to waste anymore

We're short on the change that we came here for

Everybody's waiting on

Another bomb to go off so we can sound the alarm

Weighing the scales surveying our polls

Praying on angels to save our souls

Well I ain't caving in to the fables we've been told

I've had enough I'm done

Picking up after all

The crumbs you left us while you stuff yourself

You burned a hole in our pockets

You stole all the gold you feed off of us

Somebody wake me up

I can't believe what I see

Must be some dream I made up

Everything I thought this was once

Turns out to be what seems like

Some sick delusion

An ugly glutton with a devilish soul

Dropping down a bottomless well of gold

Belly too full

Yet he still wants more

I've had enough I'm done

Picking up after all

The crumbs you left us while you stuff yourself

You burned a hole in our pockets

You stole all the gold you feed off of us

I'm losing patience sick of waiting

This nonsense it spreads like contagion

Sucks us dry

Like a parasite

Beneath the buried lies

Behind the tainted glass that they hide behind

There's a nice little slice

Of fool's paradise

Of fool's paradise

Of fool's paradise

Of fool's paradise

I've had enough I'm done

Picking up after all

The crumbs you left us while you stuff yourself

You burned a hole in our pockets

You stole all the gold you feed off of us

Well someone's looking down on the world through a telescope

Watching everything unfurl while we never know

Why we never win

Why don't we ever hold onto each other

No they pick them up and them go, let it go, let it go

They pick them up and

Let them go

Let them go

Let them go
