The Rainmakers - Fool's Gold lyrics

I heard you telling your friends Aw, he's harmless enough There's almost nothing You could've said That would have hurt me so much But how to risk all you got Oh, i forget, you forgot Or you'd see that Harmless is one thing I'm most certainly not It's all fool's gold, my dear It's all fool's gold, my dear It's hardly ever like you think It's almost always like you fear It's all fool's gold, it's all fool's gold When we were young We went dancing To a band at the Rink They were so far out Of tune and time And they didn't even blink They were the best in the world As far as we were concerned I heard them two years on It was amazing What they'd learned Twice as cool, twice as fast Twice as loud, twice as long They were at least twice as good And about half as much fun It's all fool's gold, my dear It's all fool's gold, my dear It's not so much what you know As what you believe to be so It's all fool's gold, it's all fool's gold I was in traffic by a man Reading a book while he drives He couldn't Stay between the lanes He couldn't Read between the lines So I ran him off the road The first chance that I got See, harmless is one thing A little knowledge is not It's all fool's gold, my dear It's all fool's gold, my dear Oh, sometimes the facts Can make the truth disappear It's all fool's gold, it's all fool's gold I think God honored my oath And He one day struck me blind Because I can't see the forest For the matchsticks sometimes Oh, if ignorance is bliss I'm the happiest man alive I do so want to believe I'm so damn dumb sometimes I imagine politics and love Where neither exist Mistake the handshake Of friendship For the hate-shaking fist It's like the Lost Dutchman mine It's a fictional claim But we've no other choice Than to keep mining that vein It's all fool's gold, my dear It's all fool's gold, my dear It's hardly ever what you think It's almost always like you fear It's all fool's gold, it's all fool's gold
