CAROUSEL REVOLUTION ONE: FOOLS

lyrics: J. Morse © 1986

Another split with destiny
Another stupid fight
Why do we keep insisting
That we're always right?
No matter what you say to me
I'm always the one on top
While in your opinion
It's time for me to close up shop
   And on and on it goes
   And all it really shows
   Is that we laugh at each other's rules
   Forever and a day
   We'll lack the nerve to say
   "My God, we're being such fools."
You change your mind consistently
And then insist I go along
All you're doing is confusing me
How can I be in the wrong?
But then if I paid attention
I wouldn't be confused
And maybe you'd stop accusing me
Of making you feel abused
   And on and on it goes
   And all it really shows
   Is that we laugh at each other's rules
   Forever and a day
   We'll lack the nerve to say
   "My God, we're being such fools."

Always the same thing
Day after day
Is it true hostility
Or just a game we play?
Can you really see
Behind my point of view?
Or is it really just too difficult
To get my point across to you?
Could it just be my attitude?
Who are we to know?
It's not as if my thoughts and dreams
Are putting on a show
Maybe we can talk things out?
If not what do we do?
We'll probably end up doing the same old thing
Instead of something new
   And on and on it goes
   And all it really shows
   Is that we laugh at each other's rules
   Forever and a day
   We'll lack the nerve to say
   "My God, we're being such fools."
   And on and on it goes
   And all it really shows
   Is that we laugh at each other's rules
   Forever and a day
   We'll lack the nerve to say
   "My God, we're being such fools."
Foolish pleasures, fool's designs
Fools who just can't read between the lines...
