Can't Fool The Blues Lyrics - Around The Next Dream - Bbm

You can fool the landlord, so you don't pay the rent 

You can fool the world and become the president 

You can fool all the people some the time 

You can make a million dollars and cry, "I don't have a lousy dime" 

But you can't fool the blues 

No, you can't fool the blues, yeah 

When you're makin' all the rules, it's so hard to lose 

But you can't fool the blues, oh no 

You can fool the Romans into lending you an ear 

Write a story in the papers believin' every smear 

You can fool the rich by drivin' in a wreck 

You can get up someone's nose, every time you bounce a cheque 

But you can't fool the blues 

No, you can't fool the blues, yeah 

You can't fool the blues, it just laughs at each lie 

You can't fool the blues, oh no 

You can fool your brother into lending you his car 

Rub up the waitress for some cocktails at the bar 

You can talk some bimbo into takin' you home 

You can fool the wife into thinkin' you're alone 

But you can't fool the blues 

Yeah, you can't fool the blues, yeah 

Well, that blues chews you up and spits you right out 

You can't fool the blues, oh no
