GENESIS - One Man's Fool lyrics

rate me

As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground

And the dust-filled smoke rises in the air

You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're satisfied

To all who think they know

To everyone that knows that they're right

D'you ever wonder why

D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?

Now as the daylight fading ends another day

For too many life will never be the same

And it is all for the reason they will never understand

To all who think they know

To everyone that knows that they're right

D'you ever wonder why

D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?

And on the morning after do you realise

See the ruined faces and the ruined lives

Inside your head do you never have the thought a moment of doubt?

To all who think they know

To everyone that knows that they're right

D'you ever wonder why

D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?

There are only dreams one like any other

What means the earth to one or few means nothing to another

There are only dreams like any other

Drawing lines upon the sand, on the land, on the sea

Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless to me

Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one

Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another

There are only dreams like any other

There are only differences, worth living but not dying for

One man's joy makes another man weep

Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it

One man's saint is another man's fool

One man's hot is another man's cool

And when the war is over, won

Will there be peace for evermore?

Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from gold

Praying for their mercy that won't save their souls

Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one

Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another

There are only dreams like any other

There are only hopes and beliefs one like any other (there are only dreams like any other)

Worth living but not dying for

Living but not dying for not killing for

There are only dreams like any other like any other

To all of those who think that they know

All I can say yes all I can say

One man's joy makes another man weep

Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it

One man's saint is another man's fool

One man's hot is another man's cool

There are only dreams like any other

There are only hopes and beliefs, one like any other

There are only dreams like any other...
