Gene Clark - Life's Greatest Fool lyrics

Some walk out winners of those who've lost Can it be said at any price this is the cost Hard is perception, easier is blame Is this the only life for everyone Isn't it the same Children laugh and run away While others look into the darkness of the day Some streets are easy while some are cruel Could these be reasons why man Is life's greatest fool Do you believe when you're all alone You held the key to your destiny gone Do you believe in your soul That too much loneliness makes you grow old Words can be empty though filled with sound Stoned numb and drifting, hard to be profound Formed out of pleasure, chiselled by pain Never the highest and not the last one to gain
