Laugh at the Fool

Oh, there he goes, with eyes wide and naive

Chasing shadows, believing what they deceive

No coin in his pocket, no pride in his step

He's the star of this comedy, so unaware, so inept

Point and sneer, oh gather 'round

See the fool who lost his ground

Laugh aloud, at his mistake

But who’s the real ape?

Here’s to the foolish, the unwary and blind

Dancing in circles, lost in their mind

Raise your voice, mock the plight

The fool’s delight, the fool’s delight

He’s blind to the warnings, deaf to the cries

Trusting in luck, ignoring the wise

Battered by moments, missteps and snares

All while oblivious, unaware of the stares

Point and sneer, oh gather 'round

See the fool who lost his ground

Laugh aloud, at his mistake

But who’s the real ape?

Here’s to the foolish, the unwary and blind

Dancing in circles, lost in their mind

Raise your voice, mock the plight

The fool’s delight, the fool’s delight

Wait, hold on, a thought now dawns

Could the mirror show a different pawn?

Am I the jester, the clown, the fool?

Is this reflection my own cruel rule?

Here’s to the foolish, the unwary and blind

Dancing in circles, lost in their mind

Raise your voice, mock the plight

The fool’s delight, the fool’s delight

Oh, I recognize now beneath this mask of jest

The truth unveiled, I’m the fool at best

The joke, the laugh, the tragic and the true

In the mirror’s shade, I see me in full view
