Folly

Those good natured artists never gave a hint of pain and suffering

I guess it had a lot to do with a good upbringing

Ring the bell and the dog comes to supper

Radio blasts as we all share the same feeling

Tomorrow's gonna come

Does your light shine bright on entertainment tonight?

As the cows stand in line waiting to be a burger

Oh, how they suffer

Every birthday cake that ever sat in front of my face

I was sure I'd make it thru to the next year

I've seen all kinds of things but Marilyn Monroe was a true star

She was so voluptuous a sex god for the poor

Rocking and reeling the evening away

As the TV burns a hole in our minds

What folly is this?

What can we learn from their mistakes?

How to make mistakes

Little dolly

There is work to do the working class should know

Take all their pay and everything's ok

They know these more to life then trivia and celebrities

And how often their disappointed with them

The good loving blessings of the U. S. of A.

Help us make it through the darkest of nights

I feel the crumby side of the show-business life

As promotional papers fill the wastepaper baskets

As the living ask it why? Oh why, oh why…

The audience at the movies was restless and tired

It had been going on for about an hour

And no one had caught the gist of it yet

The candy and the soda pop pacify the lie

The movie is fake and it influences our lives

And so we learn to act as fake as the movie was

We all practice and rehearse in from of the mirror

But we're not really there

Oh, oh the sadness of the earth

Oh, oh the sadness of the earth

Only because I love you

And I'll always be true

Because I love you

And I'll always be with you

Because I love you
