Following Fools

(album: 14 Steps To A Better You - 2020)

It sends me sideways when you're clenching your fists
Caught in conversation with a backwards idiot
In too deep to just say thanks and forget
Follow in the footsteps of the fools and fuckwits

These days
Turn them into who we don't like
These days
Made up from a copycat life
These days
Young and puzzled ignorant guys
That's why
That's why

We just wannna love you
We just wannna love you
Your nature's hard to tell
The pressure keeps you vulnerable

We just wannna love you
We just wannna love you
Learn from my mistakes
Everyone is taking the bait

We just wannna love you
We just wannna love you
Your nature's hard to tell
The pressure keeps you vulnerable

We just wannna love you
We just wannna love you
Learn from my mistakes
Everyone is taking the bait

Bend over backwards, pull your head from the sand
A man in manacles doesn't fully understand
Left unfixed but he wants to take your hand
Go with the old dogs and be destined to be damned

These days
Turn them into who we don't like
These days
Made up from a copycat life
These days
Young and puzzled ignorant guys
That's why
That's why

We just wannna love you
We just wannna love you
Your nature's hard to tell
The pressure keeps you vulnerable

We just wannna love you
We just wannna love you
Learn from my mistakes
Everyone is taking the bait

We just wannna love you
We just wannna love you
Your nature's hard to tell
The pressure keeps you vulnerable

We just wannna love you
We just wannna love you
Learn from my mistakes
Everyone is taking the bait

When you've got love for you
You stop following fools
