The first time I saw it
It happened so fast
I didn't turn the other way
Although I never stood a chance
You said 'don't waste your life with your head in the sand”
You said 'don't waste your time, son, on a fool's errand”
Well, in this life, the rules you live by
It makes no difference, son, when it's do or die
Oh! Your stone's been weighed, the dye is cast
Your crow has come, judgment is passed, yeah!
But you can't deny the accusations
When you got the red-stained hand
This life is one of temptation
Best walk away while you can
You can't live your life, no, with your head in the sand
You can't waste your time, son, on a fool's errand, yeah!
On a fool's errand
Enough money to drown in, enough rope to hang
Trouble's the way I'm living, child, but it ain't nothing
I'll educate you, boy, I'll show you how to be
To never want nothing, son, and take all you need, yeah!
But you can't deny the accusations
When you got the red-stained hand
This life is one of temptation
Best walk away while you can
You can't live your life, no, with your head in the sand
You can't waste your time, son, on a fool's errand, yeah!
Well, this life, it's a dead end street
Cold, dark and lonely, straight fucking mean
A race to the end, whoever gets there last
Suffers from the sorrow of losing all they had...
A fool's errand
A fool's errand!
