Fool’s
Gold
Raul
Seixas
I
should now be feeling happy
Since
I have a fine new job
A
wife an’ family
I’m
the model man who made it
Every
month a thousand bucks
I
should thank the Lord I have it
And
my success as an artist
Should
be proud I’ve got a Chevy
I’m
the kind of guy that lucks
So,
I should now be glad as glad
With
my brand new home is the best quarter
After
starving for two years
In
this whore of whores of towns
Should
be proud of being socially
Respected
and even feared
But
I think this kind of success
Is
for circuses and for clowns
You
know, I should be vain and proud
To
have won my place in life
But
I must vow I´m dazed
And
I just don´t know where I am at
Because
it was so easy picking
So
I ask myself, “And now”?
I
have so many worlds to conquer
And
I know I can not be even satisfied with that
I
should be happy God has granted me
Sundays
that I wanted
With
my family to play the father
To
play the husband and display
But
a monumental bore
You
will find I am and more
Don’t
you feel I’m happy and easy
At
the end of every day
Stand
against a looking glass
And
see yourself, what an ass
God
and devil took the mass
On
ten percent use of your brain
You
are a doctor of philosophy
Priest
or copper, what a topper
Don’t
you wish you could grow young
And
start it all again?
