Brad Mehldau - The Prophet Is a Fool Lyrics

Lyrics The Prophet Is a Fool - Brad Mehldau



They're getting closer
"I know"
What should we do?
"Let's get out of here, let's run for the hills"
"'Build that wall, build that wall, build that wall, build that wall"'
Who's he?
"He's just their voice, he speaks for them
They're just scared, they think he makes them stronger"
Does he?
"No, he weakens them"
Then they're not dangerous actually
"No, they are dangerous
Deep inside they suspect they're getting
Fucked over but they're too proud to admit it
They don't wanna hear it from us
He tells them we're the enemy"
But if they're weak, why are they dangerous?
"They have guns, lots of guns
And they're not for hunting"
("'Build that wall, build that wall,
Build that wall, build that wall"')
They're coming back
