lyrics

VERSE 1
Oh foolish man
What have you done
Oh foolish man
They left you one by one
And now you travel on
Moving slowly like a pawn
You wonder how the winners won

VERSE 2
Oh tired man
How dare you pray
Oh tired man
Have you so little left to say
Now you travel on
And what you’ve come upon
Is heavy like a million billion tons

CHORUS
I was just like you
I was a big fool too


VERSE 3
Oh foolish man
Heard what you said
A foolish plan
Try to fight the copperhead
A careless calculation
With a crooked deck of cards
A snake in your own back yard

BRIDGE/SPOKEN
I never really knew you
If I was you
I’d try to change my point of view
I might even change my name
Not keep it quite the same
That’s if I were you
That’s what I’d do

CHORUS
I was just like you
I was a big fool too

VERSE 4
Oh foolish man
What have I done
Oh foolish man
Is this what I’ve become
I’m standing in the shade
I’m melting in the rain
I’m a shadow looking for the sun
A shadow just waiting for the sun
