Only A Fool Would Say That
By Steely Dan (Becker/Fagen)
Off the album "Can't Buy a Thrill"

Intro:  / 2x

N..           
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 holding it high, he's telling a lie


(Chorus:)
               
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


(Chorus)

                             
Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes
                                                   /
You'll feel no pain, and you're younger than you realize
       
Only a fool would say that
           
Only a foooooooooooooooooool

(Guitar Solo:     )

               
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
