Fool’s paradise
Was it very nice?
People living in the world for material things
Love has a playful heart
That's where the hatred starts
Causin' harm and replacin' the joy true love can bring

Chorus:
It’s just a fool’s paradise
It’s just a fool’s paradise
Was it very nice?

Whoa –

(And you don’t know)
Just like a concrete dream
Fool’s paradise is strange
People buying time don’t seem like a natural thing
Souls are lost to sea
Souls that will never be
Returning to this place of living misery

It’s a fool’s paradise
It’s just a fool’s paradise
Was it very nice?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Fool’s paradise

(ooh it’s just a)

Fool’s paradise
Was it very nice?
No, no, no, no, no, no

Whoa –

Souls are lost to sea
Souls that’ll never be
Returning to this place of living misery

Fool’s paradise
Was it very nice?
(repeat to fade)
