Only a Fool Would Say That Songtext
von Steely Dan

Our world become one
Of salads and sun
Only a fool would say that
A boy with a plan
A natural man
Wearing a white stetson hat

Unhand that gun begone
There′s no one to fire upon
If he's holding it high
He′s telling a lie

I heard it was you
Talkin' 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn′t be
And only a fool would say that


The man in the street
Draggin′ his feet
Don't wanna hear the bad news
Imagine your face
There is his place
Standing inside his brown shoes

You do his nine to five
Drag yourself home half alive
And there on the screen
A man with a dream

I heard it was you
Talkin′ 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn′t be
And only a fool would say that

Anybody on the street
Has murder in his eyes
You feel no pain
And you're younger
Then you realize
Only a fool would say that
Only a foooo oooooo ooooo oooool


I heard it was you
Talkin′ 'bout a world
Where all is free
It just couldn't be
And only a fool would say that
Only a fool would say that
Only a fool would say that
