Only A Fool Would Say That

(Walter Becker/Donald Fagen)
(vocal by Donald Fagen and David Palmer)

A world become one
Of salads and sun
Only a fool would say that
A boy with a plan
A natural man
Wearing 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

I heard it was you
Talking '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
Standing 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
Talking '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 realize

Only a fool would say that
Only a fool...

(guitar solo by Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter)

I heard it was you
Talking '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
