Fools Lyrics - The Dodos

Our fathers have been entangled in things 

He's been squandering, he's been squandering 

And we don't do a thing, 'cause we're busy and think 

We're just wandering, we're just a-wandering like fools 

His son is his prize, he tells a few lies 

He's got his father's eyes, it's in his father's eyes 

And he thinks in his mind that he's just getting by 

But he's a compromise, he's just a compromising fool 

And the stance that we take isn't much to bear 

Yeah, we leave things to change on their time 

And our failure to care for it leaves us blind 

'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind 

Now he lies on his back, and they tell him it's that 

It's just a heart attack, it's just a heart attack 

Too late to return to the ones that you've earned 

No they don't give it back, no they don't give it back to fools 

And the stance that we take isn't much to bear 

Yeah, we leave things to change on their time 

And our failure to care for it leaves us blind 

'til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind 

I've been, I've been silent
