we were the fools

Yesterday

We were the fools

Living in the slogans

Thinking it was for our own good

Yesterday

We slept it through

We didn't know the cheats

They carted the wealth away

In our lives

We lived through

Yesterday came and gone

Now we knew the truth

Something happening

We woke up to see

The internet brought the news

Scandals and covers up into the open

The fool on the hill

We aren't the fools following blindly

We have learned our lessons

We can work it out for our past mistakes

With help from around

We manage to come full circle

Now we realize our duty

We have to stop the looters

Yesterday we were sleeping

Maybe we thought we were

Letting the crooks got away

Now we are looking to make amends
