strong foundation

from poacher's night by Tim O'Connor

/

lyrics

making a monster
planting an orchard
staring at the sun
won't fool anyone

tripping a blind man
praying there's a god and
wondering who's won
won't fool anyone

high ideals mean nothing without strong foundation
justice is just gossip without strong foundation
commitment's always shocking without strong foundation
and walking out because it's without strong foundation
won't fool anyone

intensivly farming
choosing permanent scaring
children carrying guns
won't fool anyone

dancing in strobe light
booking a one way flight
forgetting to question
won't fool anyone

high ideals mean nothing without strong foundation
justice is just gossip without strong foundation
commitment's always shocking without strong foundation
and walking out because it's without strong foundation
won't fool anyone

exposing a weakness
diving with one long breath
denying what evolution's done
won't fool any one

trying to reinvent
hardselling the harvest
neglecting what's begun
won't fool anyone

high ideals mean nothing without strong foundation
justice is just gossip without strong foundation
commitment's always shocking without strong foundation
and walking out because it's without strong foundation
won't fool anyone
it won't fool anyone
