Fools Gold
Words & Music by John DeLore and Matthew Kubacki

lyrics

Fools Gold
Words & Music by John DeLore and Matthew Kubacki

Tell me what’s the use of your golden voice
If you must sell your words just for the chance to be heard?

I been on my heels.
I been sweet and low.
Oh, I been black and blue,
And I been fighting all night to get through.

And I was once like you.
I never believed that anyone could ever touch the truth.

Let me tell you now, that when a line gets drawn.
Carry what you can when you go to step across.

Cos I was once like you.
I never believed that anyone could ever touch the truth.

Fools gold. It’s cold to the touch.
It shines pretty good but it ain’t worth too much.
Oh, you are such a beautiful fool to me.
