Total Fool

Verse 1

Waking up to cold walls

Biting my nails until the red raw skin starts stinging

The sink is leaking

The cupboard is empty again

Rent man knocking like a hammer hitting hollow pine

Thumping hard

Demanding gold

For a room that smells like wet dogs and bad decisions

Pre-Chorus

Then I walk outside

I see the scene

The madness begins

Chorus

At least I’m not a total fool

Walking through the traffic with a plastic smile

Stupid is as stupid does

They follow the leader like a line of ants

I’m miserable and I’m broke

But I still got my head on straight

I still got my head on straight

At least I’m not them

Post-Chorus

Not them

No not them

Never them

No no

Verse 2

Staring at the phone screen

Drooling over digital dreams and hollow vanity schemes

Thinking they’re kings

Building castles out of sand and ego

Found a bloke arguing with a brick wall today

Face went purple

Screaming at shadows

Because he didn't like the way the sun was setting

Pre-Chorus

And it hits me quick

Like a heavy brick

The balance is thick

Chorus

At least I’m not a total fool

Walking through the traffic with a plastic smile

Stupid is as stupid does

They follow the leader like a line of ants

I’m miserable and I’m broke

But I still got my head on straight

I still got my head on straight

At least I’m not them

Post-Chorus

Not them

No not them

Never them

No no

Bridge

Look left

Look right

Look up

They’re falling for the same old tricks

Same old traps

Same old lies

But I’m standing here with nothing but my senses

And that’s enough to win

Yeah that’s enough to win

Chorus

At least I’m not a total fool

Walking through the traffic with a plastic smile

Stupid is as stupid does

They follow the leader like a line of ants

I’m miserable and I’m broke

But I still got my head on straight

I still got my head on straight

At least I’m not them
