Eloy - Fools lyrics

we're walking contradictions and toothless we try to bite we live up to our standards though we know they ain't right fools we always stand up to fight when nothing's left to win we draw the shades when we're bothered ignorance is our twin We've got our fancy but empty preconceived life instance of how we wondered why we're seldom satisfied but only the fools will applaud this strange self-deception but only the fools will believe in resurrection of ideals in purest form they're the first who have claimed their piece and then the first who will ask for release why do we sanction their means with a nod boasting the absolute freedom of thought we are fools we hide with pride behind tolerant words neglecting the fact that we've been lured we are fools we are fools but only the fools will applaud this strange self-deception but only the fools will believe in resurrection of ideals in purest form they're the first who have claimed their piece and then the first who will ask for release
