Manipulated romance pretty speeches in the dark
banging on your big drum
you captivate their hearts
but underneath the mask is a man of straw
a master of excuses closing every door

I don't wanna hear your name
I don't wanna feel your pain
I don’t have to play your game
I’m stronger things have changed

I’m no longer in fools, fools paradise
I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise
fools paradise

Your poetic inspiration is a work of art
but your obsession with the glory rules a self-centred heart accumulative hatred living in fear
and when the bitterness is over another victim reappears.

so I don't wanna hear your name I don't wanna feel your pain
I don’t have to play your game
I’m stronger things have changed
I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise
fools paradise

I don't wanna hear your name I don't wanna feel your pain
(I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise)
I don't wanna hear your name I don't wanna feel your pain
(I'm no longer in fools, fools paradise) (Repeat)
