Life's Greatest Fool - Gene Clark

Some walk out winners of those who’ve lost

Can it be said at any price this is the cost?

Hard is perception, easier is blame

Is this the only life for everyone?

Is it the same?

Children laugh and run away

While others look into the darkness of the day

Some streets are easy while some are cruel

Could these be reasons why man is life’s greatest fool?

Do you believe when you’re all alone

You held the key to your destiny gone?

Do you believe deep in your soul

That too much loneliness makes you grow old?

Words can be empty, though filled with sound

Stoned numb and drifting, hard to be profound

Formed out of pleasure, chiseled by pain

Never the highest and not the last one to gain

Do you believe when you’re all alone

You held the key to your destiny gone?

Do you believe deep in your soul

That too much loneliness makes you grow old?

(Do you believe, do you believe, do you believe)

You held the key to your destiny gone?

(Do you believe, do you believe, do you believe)

You held the key to your destiny gone?

(Do you believe, do you believe, do you believe)

You held the key to your destiny gone?

(Do you believe, do you believe, do you believe)
