Fools in the Street
You wanna tell me what to think
Tell me how much I can take
You want to tell me what to like
Ain't me that's filled with hate
There's nothing gonna change
You're all just wasting time
Look at all the fools in the street
Tiny little minds
You want to tell me what to do
Teach me how to think
Tell me what I should feel
Don't want to join your stink
There's nothing gonna change
Just winds of passing time
Look like fools in the street
Tiny little minds
Well, thank goodness for the righteous
To tell me what to think
A wondrous utopia
Crime and filth and stink
There's nothing gonna change
But you'll get it right this time
A million fools in the street
Now shut up and get in line
