Only Fools Are Satisfied

Only Fools Are Satisfied

Winter 2019

When the world calls, you must reply

But don’t hold your breath too long

Only fools are satisfied

Look for the hints while walking by

If it makes you smile it can’t be wrong

When the world calls, you must reply

Your talents may take off and fly

But you still feel like you don’t belong

‘Cause only fools are satisfied. 

Your family now needs you, so you try

To help by selling your last song

‘Cause when the world calls, you must reply

The family is okay, thanks to you it survived

But the price you paid will carry lifelong

It’s okay, because only fools are satisfied. 

Your eyes might be cold no tears to cry

You can never stay down, you have to be strong

Because when the world calls, you have to reply

It won’t be fun, but only fools are satisfied.
