lyrics
FOOLISH PRIDE
Now the hole in your boat is opening wide,
you sew a dream-coat to keep it afloat
with Foolish Pride...
and put all your hope in an old rope;
what a surprise when it comes untied!
Foolish Pride, Foolish Pride!
It's a natural law: when you built on the shore
we're fighting a war against the rising tide:
Foolish Pride!
There's a crack in the core,
put your foot throughout the floor,
close the car door,
thank you, thank you for the ride!
Foolish Pride, Foolish Pride!
it's a landslide,
your building site…
Our God-given right to kill every night
that appetite never be denied,
Foolish Pride!
He recognized in every man's eyes
the slave and the guide;
that's why our Savior cried:
Foolish Pride, Foolish Pride Foolish Pride!
...
If you think you're so hip, just keep curling your lip,
one foot in the pit, the crack of the whip
as the ship capsized:
Foolish Pride, Foolish Pride, Foolish Pride!
Take my advice while there's still time:
choose a new prize, cheap at the price
of your Foolish Pride!
