The gap that opens is a jaw a mile wide

It'll take you inside

Make your ambition its bride

Your disappointment is torn and terrified

Just a species of pride

Like a wreck in the tide

They've seen your kind a thousand times

Or more or less to be unimpressed

And I've been your kind a thousand times

A fool is never idle

A fool is never idle

A fool is never idle

'Cause a fool will work for free

You're an exhibition of the worst work of all time

Absent of reason and rhyme

Your innocence is a crime

You're faithful to the force that's dragging you down

While you're facing the ground

The clown is wearing a crown

They've seen your kind a thousand times

Or more or less to be unimpressed

And I've been your kind a thousand times

A fool is never idle

A fool is never idle

A fool is never idle

'Cause a fool will work like me

I've been your kind a thousand times

I've been your kind a million times

I've been your kind a billion times

So I know

A fool is never idle

A fool is never idle

A fool is never idle

'Cause a fool will work for free

A fool is never idle

A fool is never idle

A fool is never idle

'Cause a fool will work for free
