Steely Dan ~ Only A Fool Would Say That ~ Can't Buy A Thrill (HQ Audio)

Many speculate that this is a response to Lennon's "Imagine" which came out a year before (1971). It's certainly well timed. If not Lennon in particular, it's certainly aimed at the peace, freedom, and love, hippie movement (although there's always more involved with these guys). But when you think of the hard working guy dragging himself home and seeing "a man with a dream" singing "Imagine" from his English mansion (the original video inadvertently rubs freedom right in your face!) it all seems rather pertinent.

A world become one of salads and sun Only a fool would say that A boy with a plan, a natural man Wearing a white stetson hat Unhand that gun begone There's no one to fire upon If he's holding it high, he's telling a lie I heard it was you Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free It just couldn't be, and only a fool would say that The man in the street draggin' his feet Don't wanna hear the bad news Imagine your face there is his place Standing inside his brown shoes You do his nine to five Drag yourself home half alive And there on the screen A man with a dream I heard it was you Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free It just couldn't be And only a fool would say that Anybody on the street Has murder in his eyes You feel no pain And you're younger than you realize Only a fool would say that Only a fool I heard it was you Talkin' 'bout a world where all is free It just couldn't be, and only a fool would say that Only a fool would say that Only a fool would say that Songwriters: Walter Carl Becker / Donald Jay Fagen Only a Fool Would Say That lyrics © American Broadcasting Music, Inc., Red Giant Music Inc, Red Giant, Inc.
