"You Won't Make A Fool Out Of Me" lyrics - FLOGGING MOLLY

Write these words for lost inspiration
Ain't that a barrel full of laughs?
Work your arse off for the crumbs on the table
Where they fall hungry on your lap

Whatever became of the seed
That once grew in your hand
And the dirt where you fingers did bleed
Has all rushed to your head

But you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me

Purse strings break, they're not made of elastic
And I'm no puppet on your shelf
You won't sing when this singer is songless
I'm not a notch in your fat belt

For green is the heart of your greed
That much I can tell
You may think you're the captain of me
But I'm your coffin ship from hell

But you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
No, you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me

So I'll drag these bones across the earth
With the dead I'll never sleep
Where I'll haunt you for a thousand years
Without breath you'll never breathe

For an empty shell your grave will fill
Alas for evermore
And you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of

Bite the hand that fed you from nothing
Get that monkey off your back
Empty lives bring false celebrations
That's not my meaning of success

For green is the heart of your greed
That much I can tell
And you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me

Says you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
Says you won't, no, no, no, you won't
You won't make a fool out of me
