You Can't Fool the Beast

You Can't Fool the Beast - Horslips

You can fool the woman

One of these days you're gonna

Fool the man

Cos you've got the insight

You can see a world of things

They can't understand

Ah yes they're blind already

They're blind to love blind to pain

Blind to hope blind to gain

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast

You can say you're winning

You can count the score

And say you know that they've lost

But you'll end up admitting that

The price is more than simply counting

The cost

Ah yes they're blind already

They're blind to love blind to pain

Blind to hope blind to gain

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast

Cos you've ways of knowing

You can tell their pride will

Make them blind in the end

And leave them blindly gazing

They're blind to love blind to pain

Blind to hope blind to gain

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast

Ah you can fool them alright

But can you fool the beast
