Only A Fool Would Say That

Steely Dan

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 

[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 
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 

[Chorus]

Anybody on the street 
Has murder in his eyes 
You feel no pain 
And you're younger 
Than you realize 

[Chorus]
