Eric Woolfson - What Fools People Are lyrics

A crime has been committed I call for justice in the name of the Lord The truth has been subverted The instigator must be put to the sword For the God that we serve is a vengeful God Let me remind you of that! As for the perpetrator I will expose him as a cheat and a fraud For every word he's uttered Is a deception for an earthly reward Will he laugh to himself to his dying day With his last breath will he smile and say... What fools people are! What fools people are! What fools… People are! Now God in all His wisdom Has chosen my voice to deliver His words The lies of all blasphemers Will drown in silence, the truth will be heard And the Arm of the Lord wields a mighty sword I can a**ure you of that! And as for Poe the Sinner I now will judge him by the faith I hold dear And after deep reflection I find him guilty, my conscious is clear Could his black words be read any other way? Sometimes I sigh to myself and say... What fools people are What fools people are What fools… People are! (Reynolds! Reynolds!) Say when we joined the army That he deserted, people don't like a rat At university, Thrown out for cheating, they'll all believe that! If I alter a line, then his poem won't rhyme Father, forgive me my sins! And now he stands convicted I will commit him to the care of the Lord Forsaken! Forgotten! A veil of silence, his eternal reward! Under a dark, everlasting cloud Sometimes it's hard not to shout out loud What fools people are! What fools people are! What blissfully ignorant fools… People are! And if the sheep have a mind to stray I have to show them the righteous way... What fools people are! What fools people are! What ignorant, bloody fools... People are!
