Fool's Gold

a man's ambitions seldom take advice
he wants the finest things in life at any price
eventually his hands will hold
and he'll examine precious gold
and wait to see his life's ambitions shine

paradise is yellow dust,
all perfection melted golden lust
everywhere it's bought and sold
glittering prizes, gleaming molten gold

the hardest lesson of all is when you find it's all fool's gold
the hardest lesson of all is when you find you've cherished fool's fool's gold

what a thing to learn with time
not before commitment of the crime
time has passed and now it seems
only a fool pursues those golden dreams

the hardest lesson of all is when you find it's all fool's gold
the hardest lesson of all is when you find you've cherished fool's fool's gold

what's a man supposed to do
when he finds his dreams were all untrue ?
does he laugh, or cry with pain
then make the same mistakes again ?

the hardest lesson of all is when you find it's all fool's gold
the hardest lesson of all is when you find you've cherished fool's fool's gold
