Only A Fool Would Say That
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan; Ivy



A world becomes 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

Chorus:
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

Chorus

Anybody on the street
Has murder in his eyes
You feel no pain
And you're younger
Than you realize

Chorus
