Follow The Fool
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look at that there fool talkin' lots of shine
To turkeys in the rain filling heads with brine
A fancy little fool with fancy little ways
Churning bullshit into butter 'cause butter always pays
But who's the bigger fool?
Is it the fool?
Is it the fool who follows the fool?
Is it the fool who follows the fool who follows the fool?
Or the fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows?
Look at that there fool playing dirty tricks
He must be made of teflon 'cause nothing ever sticks
Dancing 'round the room while farting in the breeze
Friends huff it down like it's American cheese
So who's the bigger fool?
Is it the fool?
Is it the fool who follows the fool?
Is it the fool who follows the fool who follows the fool
Or the fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows?
Look at that there fool still talkin' shine
If he don't get his way, he'll bitch and piss and whine
He can't complete a sentence, can barely complete a thought
A mouth so full of lies, you'd think his tongue would surely rot
But who's the bigger fool?
Is it the fool?
Is it the fool who follows the fool?
Is it the fool who follows the fool who follows the fool?
Or the fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows?
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool who follows
The fool who follows the fool
