Fool Killer

Once there was a boy who left the bed he slept in

And he ran away 'cause he felt life was cruel

A killer of fools was walking close behind him

The boy was afraid that he was a fool

Oh the fool killer is a giant, they say

He chops down the fool and he goes on his way

That runaway boy was a runaway boy

Very much like you

So he climbed the hills and roamed the woods and valleys

Just get up and go became his golden rule

A killer of fools was walking in the shadows

The boy was afraid that he was a fool

Then there came a day a man and woman found him

Loving meeting smile and then they called him son

No more did he fear that wicked old fool

I know that it's true because I was the one

Oh, the fool killer is a giant, they say

He chops down the fool and he goes on his way

Well, who was the fool, tell me

The boy in his bed, or the boy you used to know

Runaway boy, listen

Runaway boy, better grow on better
