Praying for what never comes
Digging for some glowing thing
Losing yourself in the rush
Driving you slowly insane

Won’t be the last one to fall
Won’t be the last one to find

It’s only fools gold
Fools gold
Oh it may shine like the sun
But it’s just fools gold

Someone to walk by your side
Someone who’s there when you’re old
Someone to live with your own
This is the real mother load

Won’t be the last one to fall
Won’t be the last one to find

The rest is just fools gold
Fools gold
Oh it may shine like the sun
But it’s just fools gold

Some men will steal to get rich
Another will kill to keep his
Maybe it’s just yellow rocks
Maybe that’s all that there is

All of it’s fools gold
Mm mm fools gold
Oh it may shine like the sun
But it’s just fools gold

Oh it may shine like the sun
But it’s just fools gold

Fools gold
