about

Written, performed and recorded by Peter Kelly

lyrics

The gap that opens is a jaw a mile wide
It’ll take you inside
Make your ambition its bride
Your disappointment is torn and terrified
Just a species of pride
Like a wreck in the tide.

They’ve seen your kind a thousand times
Or more or less to be unimpressed
And I’ve been your kind a thousand times

A fool is never idle
A fool is never idle
A fool is never idle
‘Cause a fool will work for free.

You’re an exhibition of the worst work of all time
Absent of reason and rhyme
Your innocence is a crime
You’re faithful to the force that’s dragging you down
While you’re facing the ground
The clown is wearing a crown.

They’ve seen your kind a thousand times
Or more or less to be unimpressed
And I’ve been your kind a thousand times

A fool is never idle
A fool is never idle
A fool is never idle
‘Cause a fool will work like me.

I’ve been your kind a thousand times
I’ve been your kind a million times
I’ve been your kind a billion times

So I know
A fool is never idle
A fool is never idle
A fool is never idle
‘Cause a fool will work for free.
A fool is never idle
A fool is never idle
A fool is never idle
‘Cause a fool will work for free.
