Lyrics for GARDEN OF FOOLS
Loans and jewellery A pawn shop and guns Leave a little for your daughters And a touch for your sons Lest they make it through the warrens and runs Without your ripped and your wrinkled papers They take what you give And they take what you don't And keep it on the other side of the moat If you ain't got no money You best build a boat And hope you've the strength and the timber So we carry on shooting And sowing with jewels To spring up a thriving garden of fools Around the old graves where we buried our tools After they took our hands and the reason Oh, there is no pot for a rainy day When you look from the window and only see rain To give them their pleasures They must feel our pain And hold them like change in their pockets To spend it so freely Without giving mind And buy up the backbones of all the mankind To build them a ship and leave life behind And sail upward to purchase the heavens
