Fooling Yourself (the Angry Young Man) Lyrics - The Grand Illusion - Styx

You see the world through your cynical eyes 

You're a troubled young man I can tell 

You've got it all in the palm of your hand 

But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest 

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it 

You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it 

Why must you be such an angry young man 

When your future looks quite bright to me 

How can there be such a sinister plan 

That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man 

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it 

You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it 

Get up, get back on your feet 

You're the one they can't beat and you know it 

Come on, let's see what you've got 

Just take your best shot and don't blow it 

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it 

You're killing yourself if you don't believe it 

Get up, get back on your feet 

You're the one they can't beat and you know it 

Come on, let's see what you've got 

Just take your best shot and don't blow it
