| The first time I saw it
|
| It happened so fast
|
| I didn’t turn the other way
|
| Although I never stood a chance
|
| You said «don't waste your life with your head in the sand»
|
| You said «don't waste your time, son, on a fool’s errand»
|
| Well, in this life, the rules you live by
|
| It makes no difference, son, when it’s do or die
|
| Oh! |
| Your stone’s been weighed, the dye is cast
|
| Your crow has come, judgment is passed, yeah!
|
| But you can’t deny the accusations
|
| When you got the red-stained hand
|
| This life is one of temptation
|
| Best walk away while you can
|
| You can’t live your life, no, with your head in the sand
|
| You can’t waste your time, son, on a fool’s errand, yeah!
|
| On a fool’s errand
|
| Enough money to drown in, enough rope to hang
|
| Trouble’s the way I’m living, child, but it ain’t nothing
|
| I’ll educate you, boy, I’ll show you how to be
|
| To never want nothing, son, and take all you need, yeah!
|
| But you can’t deny the accusations
|
| When you got the red-stained hand
|
| This life is one of temptation
|
| Best walk away while you can
|
| You can’t live your life, no, with your head in the sand
|
| You can’t waste your time, son, on a fool’s errand, yeah!
|
| Well, this life, it’s a dead end street
|
| Cold, dark and lonely, straight fucking mean
|
| A race to the end, whoever gets there last
|
| Suffers from the sorrow of losing all they had…
|
| A fool’s errand
|
| A fool’s errand! |
