Lyrics
Do you think we're fools?
Questioning the intelligence or wisdom of someone.
We know it won't be long
Awareness that a negative event is imminent.
'Til you drill a well
Anticipating a destructive action or consequence.
And fall straight through the roof of Hell
Imagining a descent into a negative or hellish situation.
And they lock you in a prison cell
Expecting punishment or confinement for actions.
And leave the tale for you to tell
Leaving a negative experience for others to endure.
You got no more soul to sell
Having lost one's integrity or moral values.
But oh well, that's life
Accepting the harsh realities of life.
So carve on with your wicked knife
Persisting in malicious or harmful actions.
You're so strong, you're so precise
Acknowledging strength and precision in negative behavior.
One day you'll learn to take your own advice
Recognizing the need to follow one's own advice.
And make your home in a prison cell
Envisioning a future confined in a metaphorical prison.
And leave the tale for me to tell
Leaving a negative legacy for others to recount.
You got no more soul to sell
Emphasizing the loss of personal integrity or morality.
And any place you place the blame
Reflecting on the futility of blaming others.
The water tastes the same
Highlighting the universal experience of hardship.
The sunlight hurts your eyes
Expressing discomfort in the face of truth or reality.
It's no surprise
Conveying that certain outcomes are expected.
And anyone you chance to meet
Referring to interactions with random individuals.
A stranger on the street
Noting the curiosity of others about personal struggles.
They're bound to wonder why you run so dry
Feeling emotionally drained or exhausted.
You drink the tears from their eyes
Metaphorically consuming the pain or suffering of others.
Do you think we're fools?
Repeating the initial questioning of intelligence.
We know it won't be long
Reiterating awareness of an impending negative event.
'Til you drill a well
Repeating anticipation of a destructive action or consequence.
And fall straight through the roof of Hell
Reiterating the imagery of descending into a negative situation.
And they lock you in a prison cell
Repeating the expectation of punishment or confinement.
And leave the tale for me to tell
Repeating the idea of leaving a negative legacy for others.
You got no more soul to sell
Emphasizing the irretrievable loss of personal integrity or morality.
