I've been a fool so long by now
I know a change ain't gonna come
Riding my tender mule into the pool
I broke the only rule, like every kick I had
The milk, the cat, the smoke without the fire
Taking the best of me, the remedy, the symphony for liars
The keys, the car, the call, the cruel
They all can tell that you're the fool

I've been a fool so long by now
I know a change ain't gonna come
I walked the world alone my endless roam
I crossed the danger zone takin the short
The cut, the random flood, the fore, the play desire
Suddenly sad I'm the automat, the ex, the pat, the hired
The kiss, the frogg, the king of cool
The come, the back the of the fool

I've been a fool so long by now
I know a change ain't gonna come
I know the beat  goes without the drum
The chimes can beat the gong cooler than kind
The kid, the flop, the hit, the smell of sweet reminders
Telling you what you did was just a bit catastrophy for liars

The keys, the car, the call, the cruel
They all can tell that you're the fool
The kiss, the frogg, the king of cool
The come, the back the of the fool
