Fools

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
