Jerry Butler - Fool's Paradise lyrics

Living your life in a fool's paradise And that's not for me I tell you, yeah A point of society Living your life in a fool's paradise But what can I do I didn't make this world I was only born That's everybody's attitude Who's life was torn, oh (Life) is not what you make it That's what the upper cla** make a sense of you Well (come on, come on now) People, open up your minds 'Cause this is what you wanna do Living your life in a fool's paradise And that's not for me I tell you, yeah A point of society Living your life in a fool's paradise It's part of growing up A child shows much perception But he's pointing the finger In full spite of profit and bogetters Who strives for more, oh oh More money, more power, more security He stays so empty insde So busy trying to get ahead That he starts forgetting how to live, live, live That he starts forgetting how to live, live, live That he starts forgetting how to live, live, live Except for Living your life in a fool's paradise And that's not for me I tell you, yeah A point of society Living your life in a fool's paradise If there's some people choose Who's life they're willing to lose But never Will they fight their own war That he starts forgetting how to live, live, live That he starts forgetting how to live, live, live That he starts forgetting how to live, live, live
