Steely Dan — Only a Fool Would Say That

[Verse 1] A world become one of salads and sun Only a fool would say that A boy with a plan, a natural man Wearing a white Stetson hat [Pre-Chorus] Unhand that gun begone There's no one to fire upon If he's holding it high He's telling a lie [Chorus] I heard it was you Talking 'bout a world where all is free It just couldn't be And only a fool would say that [Verse 2] The man in the street dragging his feet Don't wanna hear the bad news Imagine your face there at his place Standing inside his brown shoes [Pre-Chorus] You do his nine to five Drag yourself home half alive And there on the screen A man with a dream [Chorus] I heard it was you Talking 'bout a world where all is free It just couldn't be And only a fool would say that [Bridge] Anybody on the street Has murder in his eyes You feel no pain And you're younger than you realize Only a fool would say that Only a fool [Chorus] I heard it was you Talking 'bout a world where all is free It just couldn't be And only a fool would say that [Outro] Only a fool would say that Only a fool would say that
