anders osborne - fools gold lyrics

[intro]
used to be silent
now i feel hollow
gettin’ hard to swallow
this educated jive

give me a reason
to commit treason
and what i believe in
estimated pride
[chorus]
make me a painter
who lives on an island
house by the ocean
gracefully old

make a captain
upon my obsessions
remove my possessions
that clutters my soul

stop chasing that fools gold

[verse]
i used to write lyrics
they gave me this courage
they were not that terrific
but it got me laid

i used to be s+xy
now everything vexes me
nothing impresses me
‘cept getting paid

[chorus]
so make me a painter
who lives on an island
house by the ocean
gracefully old
make a captain
upon my obsessions
remove my possessions
that clutters my soul

stop chasing that fools gold

[interlude]

[verse]
no i don’t wanna be younger
don’t wanna live longer
not sure i belong here
and maybe i don’t

go to havana
dance like i’m spanish
yeah i could vanish
and no one would know

[chorus]
make me a painter
who lives on an island
a house by the ocean
gracefully old
make a captain
upon my obsessions
remove my possessions
that clutters my soul

that fools gold
(it was up to him if he could ???)
stop
(now’s that time to work)
following
(he goes correcting the man who to do chose incorrectly)
fools
(and recognize his greatest power)
gold
(??? to get the most out of life)
(while the others, for instance, not recognizing this power made life a burden)
(the power to help one to be great money making ability)
(the young business man has to know things are different between the two butchers)
(went to his office the next day and started to work)
(he chose to believe it was up to him)
(not to the time, or the government)
(he started to advertise, he made special sales)
(he made necessary changes for the times)
(he modified his prices and before long he was busy again…)
