I've been a fool
I've been a fool
Walking the line with both of my eyes shut
And I'm begging you I'm begging you
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
This world is full of strangers this world is full of 'hypocrites'
Scratching for their winnings at least I am one to admit
Born in a world relying on gold
I've yet to find someone under control
People are people and we live for our own
Live how you think not by what you've been told
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
Don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard
The flag waves up above you for liberty and freedom
And fighting for your nation killing a wive's daughter's husband's son and you're told that
you're being attacked by terrorist invasions but over and over again it is you who points the gun
Hey now don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard don't listen
to a word you've heard don't listen to a word you've heard.
