Lyrics

Best of Fools

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.

I can't believe you can look me in the eye while dying

Are you for real with your little intrigues then

denying

All your words we've already heard

Thought I'm not surprised you can't cut your ties with

me

Here we are (right behind you cause you're on our

side)

Here we are (we bought the ticket, take us for a ride)

cause we all expect the truth

We must be the best of fools

You shake my hand and I count my fingers as you're

leaving

A popular man with the people that you keep deceiving

Smoke and mirrors and that confidence

Help with the illusion and the dream

Here we are (right behind you cause you're on our

side)

Here we are (we bought the ticket, take us for a ride)

cause we all expect the truth

We must be the best of fools

And so it goes make the snake oil we're still buying

God only knows if the effort's worth it, you're still

trying

Hard to tell if you can pull it off

but you're still in charge and we're still on the team

Here we are (right behind you cause you're on our

side)

Here we are (we bought the ticket, take us for a ride)

cause we all expect the truth

We must be the best of fools

Here we are (right behind you cause you're on our

side)

Here we are (we bought the ticket, take us for a ride)

cause we all expect the truth

We must be the best of fools
