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! |
