Fool's play

Everybody plays the Fool ...
No one breaks this rule.
You can do what you're gonna do ...
Pray what you wanna pray ...
But one day it comes to you and
No matter what you say ...

Everybody plays the Fool.
No one breaks this rule ...
You've seen the best go down,
Wearing the face of a clown,
But don't you frown,
'Cause everybody plays the fool.

We all know who's cool ...
There ain't no doubt about this simple truth.
But sometimes I lose control ...
Darkness steals my heart ...
Trouble fills my soul ...
Reality falls apart, and ...

Everybody plays the Fool.
No one breaks this rule ...
So if you see me go down,
Wearing the face of a clown,
Don't you frown,
'Cause everybody plays the fool.

Ooh-oh-ooh-oh, I don't wanna be ...
Oh-ooh-oh, nobody does ...
That's just the way it's got to be ...
Oh-ohh-ooh, yeah ... but

Everybody plays the Fool.
No one breaks this rule ...
So if I see you go down,
Wearing the face of a clown,
I won't frown,
'Cause everybody plays the fool.
