Son Of Orange County

Lyrics

And in your dreams
You can see yourself
As a prophet
Saving the world
The words from your lips
("I am not a crook!")
I just can't believe you are such
A fool

I just can't believe
You are such a fool
I just can't believe
You are such a fool
I just can't believe
You are such a fool
I just can't believe
You are such a fool
