lyrics

FOOLS GOLD written by Dan Blakeslee on 3/20/17 ©2023

I’ve got new blues for this world.
When raising children the games are different these days.
Don’t follow the leader or get lost in that maze.

It’s like watching cartoons, except no one‘s laughin’.
How will he find his gold with no rainbow?
You can’t total the sum without equals.

Stick it to the man, anyway you can.
He’s a liar, he’ll soon expire, he’s fired!

He’s kissin’ babies, but they’re cryin’.
Cause their food can’t grow in the soil.
He’s not worried cause his karats won’t spoil.

The first people of our land, you treat like cattle.
Hide it with fake news for your primetime show.
Shove your pipeline where the sun won’t go.

Stick it to the man, anyway you can.
He’s a liar, he’ll soon expire, he’s fired!
