Dodos, The - Fools Lyrics






Our fathers have been entangled in things
He's been squandering, he's been squandering
And we don't do a thing, 'cause we're busy and think
We're just wandering, we're just a-wandering like fools

His son is his prize, he tells a few lies
He's got his father's eyes, it's in his father's eyes
And he thinks in his mind that he's just getting by
But he's a compromise, he's just a compromising fool

And the stance that we take isn't much to bear
Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind

Now he lies on his back, and they tell him it's that
It's just a heart attack, it's just a heart attack
Too late to return to the ones that you've earned
No they don't give it back, no they don't give it back to fools

And the stance that we take isn't much to bear
Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind

I've been, I've been silent

    "Fools"

    Our fathers have been entangled in things
    He's been squandering, he's been squandering
    And we don't do a thing, 'cause we're busy and think
    We're just wandering, we're just a-wandering like fools

    His son is his prize, he tells a few lies
    He's got his father's eyes, it's in his father's eyes
    And he thinks in his mind that he's just getting by
    But he's a compromise, he's just a compromising fool

    And the stance that we take isn't much to bear
    Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
    And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
    'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind

    Now he lies on his back, and they tell him it's that
    It's just a heart attack, it's just a heart attack
    Too late to return to the ones that you've earned
    No they don't give it back, no they don't give it back to fools

    And the stance that we take isn't much to bear
    Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
    And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
    'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind

    I've been, I've been silent
