lyrics

I’m no foolish old man
I’ll tell you what is real or what’s real in your mind
The smartest old man
A younger man’s dream in a well-worn main frame
Smoothest old man
Though no one can believe that this pretty girl is into me
Foolish old man
He is just delusional, he’s losing his facilities

I’m such a clever old man with a checkered past
No one could believe that my luck would last
As long as it has never having to lose
Wealthy and entitled built a world I could rule

A traumatized boy with no patience to wait
Within him bad beasties beyond human restraint
In between the agony, this humorless beast
Can’t be trusted to be kind, to say the least

He’s a foolish old man
Foolish old man
Not sure what is real or what’s real in his mind
He’s no foolish old man
Foolish old man
He’s a younger man’s dream in a well-worn main frame

Just a foolish old man
Foolish old man
I can’t believe that pretty girl is really kinda into him
No foolish old man
Foolish old man
You are delusional and losing your facilities

Hey you foolish old man with a head way too large
Why do you let all of this greed take charge
My profit and fame are my true reward
And none of it needs to be shared with the world

Do you believe that you alone can decide all of their fates
Without science, conscience, morals or a healthy debate
I alone am the smartest, the greatest, the one
Who can keep the wheels turning and get the job done

You’re a foolish old man
Foolish old man
Why don’t you believe him, he’s trying to do everything
I’m no foolish old man
Foolish old man
Just a younger man’s dream that may be what you’re looking for
Not a foolish old man
Foolish old man
That pretty girl was always just so repulsed by him
What a foolish old man
Foolish old man
You are so delusional, the sheep will turn away from you

You’re not really a great capitalist, you’re nothing more than a narcissist
What happened to those promises, to change the fate for the rest of us
He never meant you Citizens, he was looking out for his brethren
What about the families, freedoms and prosperity

Hey you foolish old man, we see through your scam
Even those who had been fooled realize they’ve been had
You had your time controlling our lives for your plan
Now the universe might try to take its own stand

Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Not sure what is real or what’s real in his mind
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
I’m a younger man’s dream in a decrepit old main frame

Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Nobody believed that pretty girl was into him
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
You are just as disposable as all of your commodities

When that foolish old man was laid down in his grave
Natural cause the culprit from a life full of waste
There will be other beasties following bad beasties’ desire
To win by all means, set the planet on fire

Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
Foolish old man
You’re just a fool
