The gap that opens is a jaw a mile wide It'll take you inside Make your ambition its bride Your disappointment is torn and terrified Just a species of pride Like a wreck in the tide They've seen your kind a thousand times Or more or less to be unimpressed And I've been your kind a thousand times A fool is never idle A fool is never idle A fool is never idle 'Cause a fool will work for free You're an exhibition of the worst work of all time Absent of reason and rhyme Your innocence is a crime You're faithful to the force that's dragging you down While you're facing the ground The clown is wearing a crown They've seen your kind a thousand times Or more or less to be unimpressed And I've been your kind a thousand times A fool is never idle A fool is never idle A fool is never idle 'Cause a fool will work like me I've been your kind a thousand times I've been your kind a million times I've been your kind a billion times So I know A fool is never idle A fool is never idle A fool is never idle 'Cause a fool will work for free A fool is never idle A fool is never idle A fool is never idle 'Cause a fool will work for free
