They know exactly what they're up to
They know precisely what their doing
I've seen their kind before, they've got a lot in store
A lot you're not going to believe
They've got some cards that their not showin'
They're playing games you'll never win
They've got a trick or two, designed to fuck with you
They've got something up their sleeve

Don't let them play you for a fool
You'll be sorry if you do
Sure, the whole world might be fooled
Make sure no one's foolin' you

I'm sure that you won't even want it
I'm sure, you won't take my advice
I'm sure you'll disregard, you'll learn your lesson hard
And then I'll say I told you so
So when them tear drops start a-droppin'
And your hearts been torn in half
When it's all over then, you'll hear these words again
And then, and only then you'll know

Don't let them play you for a fool
You'll be sorry if you do
Sure, the whole world might be fooled
Make sure no one's foolin' you
You think, that what I think is nonsense
You think, they always think of you
You're not the first or last, they've got a spell to cast
And while you're under it so long
They've got you good right where they want you
You think you're where you wanna be
Say what I've gotta say, and then be on my way
Some day you'll know I wasn't wrong

Don't let them play you for a fool
You'll be sorry if you do Sure, the whole world might be fooled
Make sure no one's foolin' you
Don't let them play you for a fool
You'll be sorry, you'll be sorry
Make sure no one's foolin' you
