Horslips - You Can't Fool the Beast

You can fool the woman
One of these days, you're gonna
Fool the man
'Cause you've got the insight
You can see a world of things
They can't understand.

You can say you're winning
You can count the score
And say you know that they've lost.
But you'll end up admitting that
The price is more than simply counting
The cost.

Ah yes, they're blind already.
They're blind to love, blind to pain,
Blind to hope, blind to gain.
Ah you can fool them alright
But can you fool the beast?

You can fool the woman
Anyone can see you're gonna
Fool the man.
'Cause you've ways of knowing.

You can tell their pride will
Make them blind in the end.
And leave them blindly gazing
