Song Lyrics:

A WORLD BECOME ONE
OF SALADS AND SUN
ONLY A FOOL WOULD SAY THAT
A BOY WITH A PLAN
A NATURAL MAN
WEARIN' A WHITE STETSON HAT

UNHAND THAT GUN, BEGONE
THERE'S NO ONE TO FIRE UPON
IF HE'S HOLDIN' IT HIGH
HE'S TELLIN' A LIE

I HEARD IT WAS YOU
TALKIN' 'BOUT A WORLD
WHERE ALL IS FREE
IT JUST COULDN'T BE
AND ONLY A FOOL
WOULD SAY THAT

THE MAN IN THE STREET
DRAGGIN' HIS FEET
DON'T WANNA HEAR
THE BAD NEWS

IMAGINE YOUR FACE
THERE IN HIS PLACE
STANDIN' INSIDE
HIS BROWN SHOES

YOU DO HIS NINE-TO-FIVE
DRAG YOURSELF HOME
HALF ALIVE
AND THERE ON THE SCREEN
A MAN WITH A DREAM

I HEARD IT WAS YOU
TALKIN' 'BOUT A WORLD
WHERE ALL IS FREE
IT JUST COULDN'T BE
AND ONLY A FOOL
WOULD SAY THAT

ANYBODY ON THE STREET
HAS MURDER IN HIS EYES
YOU FEEL NO PAIN
AND YOU'RE YOUNGER
THAN YOU REALISE

ONLY A FOOL WOULD SAY THAT
ONLY A FOOL...

I HEARD IT WAS YOU
TALKIN' 'BOUT A WORLD
WHERE ALL IS FREE
IT JUST COULDN'T BE

AND ONLY A FOOL
WOULD SAY THAT
ONLY A FOOL WOULD SAY THAT
ONLY A FOOL WOULD SAY THAT
