First Fool

It amazes me how to you the blood line rules

It amazes me that you consider us fools

You condemn us for the blood in our veins

For the resemblance of him in our young faces and ways

Look down your nose at boys you have made!

Consider us 'less' than the new boy you've made?

It amazes me that you count yourself cool?

That you count yourself out of his little fools

LOOK in the mirror you fool and see it there for yourself

I've got your eyes, your hair, his jaw and chin as well!

But the blood you chastise that runs in my veins is half yours you fool

So chastise yourself too and remember that you were the first fool.
