We're walking contradictions

And toothless we try to bite

We live up to our standards

Though we know they ain't right

We always stand up to fight

When nothing's left to win

We draw the shades when we're bothered

Ignorance is our twin

We've got our fancy but empty preconceived life

Still somehow we wonder why we're seldom satisfied

Only the fools will applaud this strange self-deception

Only the fools will believe in resurrection of ideals in purest form

We're the first who have claimed their piece

And then the first who beg for release

Why do we sanction their means with a nod

Boasting the absolute freedom of thought

We are fools

We hide with pride behind tolerant words

Neglecting the fact that we've been lured

We are fools

We are fools

Only the fools will applaud this strange self-deception

Only the fools will believe in resurrection of ideals in purest form

We're the first who have claimed their piece

And then the first who beg for release
