Fooled By the Stars - Eileen

Words one said with tenderness Have become meaningless Broken promises take their toll Now you're playing the fool Torn, between torment and bliss Beckoned by temptation's kiss Leave your ambitions standing still All your dreams left unfulfilled Make up your mind while there's still time to turn around Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Lies that leave you cold inside With a pain to hard to hide Broken promises take their toll Now you're playing the fool Hide your face to save your shame Noone but yourself to blame Leave your ambitions standing still All your dreams left unfulfilled Make up your mind while there's still time to turn around Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind Fooled by a smile You regret, won't forget what you've left behind

I fooled you Tell me what you want and tell me what you need Tell me everything and leave none for me You left it all unsaid when you set me free Just force a smile and let me be I won't try to fight or hold you back Impossible to get more off track Begging and pleading could not pick up your slack Why couldn't you just bend and have my back? Maybe it's not me It's fucking you I guess it's nothing new Stop looking so confused You had the right to do what you wanted to There was a time when you Loved 'til it was black and blue Those pretty lies were so untrue, guess I fooled you I fooled you I fooled you Tell me what I want and tell me what I need Really nothing left here for you to see Ripped my heart out now that you are free Stole it all away, walked out on me I tried to fight and hold you back Tried to make up for all the things I lack Begging and pleading could not pick up your slack Why couldn't you just bend and have my back? Maybe it was me It wasn't you Stop looking so confused I'll tell you something new You had the right to do what you wanted to There was a time when you Loved 'til it was black and blue Those pretty lies were so untrue, guess I fooled you There was a time when you Loved 'til it was black and blue Those pretty lies are so untrue (I fooled you) I guess it's nothing new Stop looking so confused You had the right to do what you wanted to There was a time when you Loved 'til it was black and blue Those pretty lies were so untrue, guess I fooled you Stop looking so confused I'll tell you something new You had the right to do what you wanted to There was a time when you Loved 'til it was black and blue Those pretty lies were so untrue, guess I fooled you

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgment of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again Change it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fall that's all But the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now the parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss
