We are living in a fool’s paradise

Always tangled up in lies

And they teach you to despise

Is no one living for the goodness or the light?

just another war to fight

And then you’re dying for that, right?

Chorus

We are living in a fool’s paradise

Where life is cheap and sacrificed

And where our innocence has died

It’s time to go now, leave this broken paradise

Somethin’ down the road looks nice

Where we can love and share in life

Chorus

Chorus:

Within the echoes of our age

The fools will spill their blinding rage

Don’t be taken by the – 

lies they’re using to deny you

In your heart, there is a light

It can help you through the fight

It shines from your own – 

eyes and leads you through the night

From this fool’s paradise

[Keys solo – after 1`st chorus]

Outro:

All the broken, wounded lives 

The train is leaving here tonight

Leaving this fool’s paradise!

Leaving this fool’s paradise!

Leaving this fool’s paradise!

Leaving this fool’s paradise!
