Fools
Our fathers have been entangled in things
He's been squandering, he's been squandering
And we don't do a thing, 'cause we're busy and think
We're just wandering, we're just a-wandering like fools
His son is his prize, he tells a few lies
He's got his father's eyes, it's in his father's eyes
And he thinks in his mind that he's just getting by
But he's a compromise, he's just a compromising fool
And the stance that we take isn't much to bear
Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
'Til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind
Now he lies on his back, and they tell him it's that
It's just a heart attack, it's just a heart attack
Too late to return to the ones that you've earned
No they don't give it back, no they don't give it back to fools
And the stance that we take isn't much to bear
Yeah, we leave things to change on their time
And our failure to care for it leaves us blind
'Til we're tired and we're crazed in the mind
I've been, I've been silent
Tontos
Nuestros padres se han enredado en las cosas
Ha estado desperdiciando, ha estado desperdiciando
Y no hacemos nada, porque estamos ocupados y pensamos
Sólo estamos vagando, estamos vagando como locos
Su hijo es su premio, él cuenta algunas mentiras
Tiene los ojos de su padre, está en los ojos de su padre
Y piensa en su mente que acaba de pasar
Pero es un compromiso, es un tonto comprometedor
Y la postura que tomamos no es mucho que soportar
Sí, dejamos que las cosas cambien en su tiempo
Y nuestro fracaso en cuidarlo nos deja ciegos
Hasta que estemos cansados y enloquecidos en la mente
Ahora se acuesta sobre su espalda, y le dicen que es que
Es sólo un ataque al corazón, es sólo un ataque al corazón
Demasiado tarde para volver a los que has ganado
No, no se lo devuelven, no se lo devuelven a los necios
Y la postura que tomamos no es mucho que soportar
Sí, dejamos que las cosas cambien en su tiempo
Y nuestro fracaso en cuidarlo nos deja ciegos
Hasta que estemos cansados y enloquecidos en la mente
He estado, he estado callado
