Folly |
| Those good natured artists never gave a hint of pain and suffering |
| I guess it had a lot to do with a good upbringing |
| Ring the bell and the dog comes to supper |
| Radio blasts as we all share the same feeling |
| Tomorrow’s gonna come |
| Does your light shine bright on entertainment tonight? |
| As the cows stand in line waiting to be a burger |
| Oh, how they suffer |
| Every birthday cake that ever sat in front of my face |
| I was sure I’d make it through to the next year |
| I’ve seen all kinds of things but Marilyn Monroe was a true star |
| She was so voluptuous a sex god for the poor |
| Rocking and reeling the evening away |
| As the TV burns a hole in our minds |
| What folly is this? |
| What can we learn from their mistakes? |
| How to make mistakes |
| Little dolly |
| There is work to do the working class should know |
| Take all their pay and everything’s ok |
| They know these more to life then trivia and celebrities |
| And how often their disappointed with them |
| The good loving blessings of the U. S. of A |
| Help us make it through the darkest of nights |
| I feel the crumby side of the show-business life |
| As promotional papers fill the wastepaper baskets |
| As the living ask it why? |
| Oh why, oh why… |
| The audience at the movies was restless and tired |
| It had been going on for about an hour |
| And no one had caught the gist of it yet |
| The candy and the soda pop pacify the lie |
| The movie is fake and it influences our lives |
| And so we learn to act as fake as the movie was |
| We all practice and rehearse in from of the mirror |
| But we’re not really there |
| Oh, oh the sadness of the earth |
| Oh, oh the sadness of the earth |
| Only because I love you |
| And I’ll always be true |
| Because I love you |
| And I’ll always be with you |
| Because I love you |
