To find you've aligned with a trickster can fell like a foolish thing

When you discover deceit, the deceiver has served

Why do we have to put up with this shit?

Hard enough in a world where we wallow in it

What do we deserve?

What do we deserve?

You're not a fool

We just live in a foolish place

Ooh, you're not a fool

To find you've been crept by a creeper

Can be quite a creepy thing

When someone creeps up in your business

It can really do you in

Why do I have to put up with this shit?

Hard enough when this world has me covered in it

What do we deserve?

What do we deserve?

You're not a fool

We just live in a foolish place

Ooh, you're not a fool

Ooh, you're not a-

Just because you stay next to the fire

Doesn't mean you intend to be burnt

Just because you stay next to the fire

They're happily watching you struggle

While you are eating your soup

With the fork that they, kindly, gifted to you

How dare they ask why you're starving

While they're standing there holding the spoon

Someone is always holding the damn spoon

About time, you were holding onto your own damn spoon
