Only a Fool Would Say That by 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

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 is 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

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

Anybody on the street has murder in his eyes
You feel no pain and you're younger than you realize
Only a fool would say that, only a fool

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
Only a fool would say that
Only a fool would say that
