One Mans Fool Lyrics by Genesis

One Mans Fool Lyrics

    As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground
    And the dust-filled smoke rises in the air
    You know that somebody somewhere looks with pride, they're satisfied

    To all who think they know
    To everyone that knows that they're right
    D'you ever wonder why
    D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?

    Now as the daylight fading ends another day
    For too many life will never be the same
    And it is all for the reason they will never understand

    To all who think they know
    To everyone that knows that they're right
    D'you ever wonder why
    D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?

    And on the morning after do you realise
    See the ruined faces and the ruined lives
    Inside your head do you never have the thought a moment of doubt?

    To all who think they know
    To everyone that knows that they're right
    D'you ever wonder why
    D'you never ask the question even in the depths of night?

    There are only dreams one like any other
    What means the earth to one or few means nothing to another
    There are only dreams like any other

    Drawing lines upon the sand, on the land, on the sea
    Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless to me

    Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one
    Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another

    There are only dreams like any other
    There are only differences, worth living but not dying for

    One man's joy makes another man weep
    Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it
    One man's saint is another man's fool
    One man's hot is another man's cool

    And when the war is over, won
    Will there be peace for evermore?

    Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from gold
    Praying for their mercy that won't save their souls

    Don't you know what means the earth to some or only one
    Can mean just nothing nothing nothing to another

    There are only dreams like any other
    There are only hopes and beliefs one like any other (there are only dreams like any other)
    Worth living but not dying for
    Living but not dying for not killing for
    There are only dreams like any other like any other

    To all of those who think that they know
    All i can say yes all i can say

    One man's joy makes another man weep
    Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it
    One man's saint is another man's fool
    One man's hot is another man's cool

    There are only dreams like any other
    There are only hopes and beliefs, one like any other
    There are only dreams like any other...
