Delusional Fools

from New Folks by Hal Guitarist

/

lyrics

We're just delusional fools
Living by delusional rules
Wondering why we can't
Get where we're going

Living unusual lives
Surrounded by guns and by knives
Yet we all wonder
Just why there is bloodshed


We're just delusional fools
Hungry for money and jewels
Yet we can't eat them
and now we are starving

Famished and skewed by belief
Tarnished and tainted by grief
For lives that we don't know
We even are mourning


We're just delusional fools
Learning in lunatic schools
Teaching you all about
Much about nothing

We didn't learn how to hate
Until they made everything great
Which really is a word
That is so overrated

We're just delusional fools
Frightened by strangers and ghouls
Ignorant of things
We just don't know about of

Nothing that we ever learn
Can undo the pain we have spurned
Upon our world
And all of its people


We're just delusional fools
Living by delusional rules
Wondering why, don't know why
Wondering why, don't know why
Wondering why, don't know why


We're just delusional fools
Tricked by a prick in a duel
Like a man in a suit
Walking 'round in a sleeping bag

Buying a bone for three score
Then turning and begging for more
Jet lagged and burning
Apart at the seams


We're just delusional fools
Whining out samples of stools
And wondering why
Nobody will listen

We just ramble and rhyme
Out some false made-up lines:
Alternative facts
That we just wish were true


We're just delusional fools
Star-struck and covered in drool
Falling in love
With the child of the sun

It's some societal ruse
Meant to make us pick and choose
Flustering why we can't
Conform to the construct


We're just delusional fools
Convinced into thinking we're cool
Running about
In some big commotion

Dismissing all science and fact
As soon as we get to act
So why don't we all
Just fall in the ocean


We're just delusional fools
Living by delusional rules
Wondering why, don't know why
Wondering why, don't know why
Wondering why we can't
Get where we're going
