Fools Paradise

Manipulated romance Pretty speeches in the dark Banging on your big drum You captivate their hearts But underneath the mask Is a man of straw A master of excuses Closing every door And I don't wanna hear your name I don't wanna feel your pain And I don't have to play your game I'm stronger and things have changed I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise Fools paradise Your poetic inspiration Is a work of art But your obsession with the glory Rules a self centered heart Accumulative hatred, living in fear And when the bitterness is over Another victim reappears So I don't wanna hear your name I don't wanna feel your pain And I don't have to play your game I'm stronger and things have changed I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise Fools paradise I don't wanna hear your name I don't wanna feel your pain I'm no longer in fools Fools paradise I'm no longer in fools I don't wanna feel your pain I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise I don't wanna feel your pain
