Lyrics

Quit fooling me
Quit fooling me

I loved you once
I loved you twice
I never caught your name
Did we get lost
Did we give up
In a world of human trade

You sat with me
I set you free
They set us on a path
Now industries
Assets don't freeze
Tap phones instead of cash

The birds don't sing
The phone don't ring
My fingers thin
No wedding ring

It's a high tide
We live in high times
No, it's not time to give up
I wanna put my arms around you
It's not time to give up
But I don't know what it is that you want

Quit fooling me
Quit fooling me

I don't condone
Kings on high thrones
Giving orders
Civilian bones
It's all so wrong
Criminals strong
Killing our young blood

We got college boys
Playing with toys
Trying to make some noise
Innocent they exploit
And it's a high tide
Don't forget your bills
Your prescriptions filled

No, it's not time to give up
I wanna put my arms around you
It's not time to give up
But I don't know what it is that you want

Quit fooling me
Quit fooling me

The birds don't sing
The bees don't sting
My fingers thin
No wedding ring

I loved you once
I love you twice
I never caught your name
Did we get lost
Did we give up
As cash flows off the stage

You sat with me
I set you free
They set us on a path
We got witness
Dying of thirst
Buried in the dirt

We got college boys
Playing with toys
Trying to make some noise
Innocent they exploit

It's not time to give up
I wanna put my arms around you
It's not time to give up
But I don't know what it is that you want

Quit fooling me
Quit fooling me

I don't know what it is that you want

Quit fooling me
Quit fooling me

I don't know what it is that you want
