who's foolin' who? lyrics

The Best of American Ska: Mashin' Up the Nation voulmes 3 & 4

They know exactly what they're up to
They know precisely what their doing
I've seen their kind before, they've got a lot in store
A lot you're not going to believe
They've got some cards that their not showin
They're playing games you'll never win
They've got a trick or two, designed to fuck with you
They've got something up their sleeve
Don't let them play you for a fool
You'll be sorry if you do
Sure, the whole world might be fooled
Make sure no ones' foolin' you
I'm sure that you won't even want it
I'm sure, you won't take my advice
I'm sure you'll disregard, you'll learn your lesson hard
And then I'll say I told you so
So when them tear drops start a-droppin'
And your hearts been torn in half
When it's all over then, you'll hear these words again
And then, and only then you'll know
Don't let them play you for a fool
You'll be sorry if you do
Sure, the whole world might be fooled
Make sure no ones' foolin' you
You think, that what I think is nonsense
You think, they always think of you
You're not the first or last, they've got a spell to cast
And while you're under it so long
They've got you good right where they want you
You think you're where you wanna be
Say what I've gotta say, and then be on my way
Some day you'll know I wasn't wrong
Don't let them play you for a fool
You'll be sorry if you do
Sure, the whole world might be fooled
Make sure no ones' foolin' you
Don't let them play you for a fool
