Don't Be Fooled
On the south side of the summer
In the middle of July
The sky cracks open
Here's mud in your eye
It's a matter of trust
And a world that's built on lies
But I'm with you and you're in my car
The world outside's just a wish on a star
We go all night but never get that far
Shine down
Like the sun in this dream I found
It's a good world
Good life
Don't be fooled no one gets it right
I've got those poor man's shoes
Got the hangman's noose
They give you enough rope
But they never cut you loose
You've got no choice
You really have to choose
I'm no fisher of men
I'm no long lost friend
No I've never had the stomach for remember when's
I just get stoned, disowned and crucified again
Shine down
Like the sun in this dream I found
It's a good world
Good life
Don't be fooled no one gets it right
And everybody says goodnight
Much too soon
you've got to choose your fights
At the end of the road
At the end of your time
You'll be lucky not to be just losing your mind
Or waiting for heaven
Yeah shit man, there's a line
The road to hell sure has stories to tell
Better yet they're stories that sell
Until the a-holes down on Wall Street ring the bell
Shine down
Like the sun in this dream I found
It's a good world
Good life
Don't be fooled no one gets it right
