Fools Like You
Unmasking Deceit: Blue Rodeo's Anthem Against Corporate Greed
Lyrics
Blue Rodeo Fools Like You lyrics
Introduction to the song title and artist.
So good at doing
Skilled at avoiding tasks or responsibilities.
What you don't do
Performing tasks you're supposed to do poorly or not at all.
Just trying to protect yourself
Attempting to shield oneself.
And other fools like you
Refers to others who behave similarly.
So well practiced
Highly experienced in dishonesty.
In your deceit
Deception is a well-honed skill.
Behind the high walls of stupidity
Choosing ignorance as a defense.
Your endless conceit
Constantly self-centered.
Behind the locked door
Hidden issues that are ignored or denied.
The sleeping dog you beat
Abuse of a situation that is left unaddressed.
I hope I see the day
Wishing for justice or retribution.
She satisfies her teeth
Metaphor for justice being served.
Give back to the native
Returning what rightfully belongs to the indigenous people.
Their treaty land
Addressing the issue of stolen land.
What you preach you preach for others
Hypocrisy in preaching without personal practice.
Why don't you practice that first hand
Urging to practice what is preached.
I just don't understand
Confusion and disbelief about the world.
This world of mine
Feeling disconnected from reality.
I must be out of touch
Suggesting a state of confusion or mental imbalance.
Or out of my mind
Uncertainty or questioning one's sanity.
And will the profits of destruction
Questioning if financial gains from harm will blind morally.
Forever make your eyes blind
Wondering if greed leads to moral blindness.
Do you bow to the corporations
Submitting to corporate interests for financial gain.
Cause they pay their bills on time
Corporate compliance due to financial dependency.
God bless Elijah
A reference to someone being blessed or honored.
With the feather in his hand
Advocating for justice and fair treatment.
Stop stealing the Indian land
Direct plea to stop the unjust acquisition of indigenous land.
Stop stealing the Indian land
Repetition of the plea to cease land theft.
Stop stealing the Indian land
Reiterated plea to halt the stealing of indigenous land.
