Praying for what never comes
Digging for some glowing thing
Losing yourself in the rush
Driving you slowly insane
Wonât be the last one to fall
Wonât be the last one to find
Itâs only fools gold
Fools gold
Oh it may shine like the sun
But itâs just fools gold
Someone to walk by your side
Someone whoâs there when youâre old
Someone to live with your own
This is the real mother load
Wonât be the last one to fall
Wonât be the last one to find
The rest is just fools gold
Fools gold
Oh it may shine like the sun
But itâs just fools gold
Some men will steal to get rich
Another will kill to keep his
Maybe itâs just yellow rocks
Maybe thatâs all that there is
All of itâs fools gold
Mm mm fools gold
Oh it may shine like the sun
But itâs just fools gold
Oh it may shine like the sun
But itâs just fools gold
Fools gold
