Original song: who do you think you’re fooling (written in my 20s)

How can you sleep at night

who do you think you’re fooling

thinking everything’s all right

who do you think you’re fooling

I know you know the truth

so open up your eyes

do what you must do

don’t be taken by surprise.

Who do you think you’re fooling

how can you sleep at night

who do you think you’re fooling

thinking every things all right.

King Solomon was wise

and you must be too

Listen for their lies

be aware of what they do

their words are sweet as honey

of holy salvation

but their only God is money

as the leaders of our nation.

Who do they think they’re fooling

how can they sleep at night

who do they think they’re fooling

Thinking everything’s alright.

Know the time is here,

the time to be strong.

through the strength of God our father

we will triumph over wrong.

do not fear the darkness

for the night has almost ended

the battle has been won

and all will be mended.

Who do they think they’re fooling

how can they sleep at night?

Who do they think they’re fooling

thinking everything’s alright.

How can they sleep at night,

who do they think they’re fooling

thinking everything’s alright

who do they think they ‘re fooling
