Time Makes Fools of Us All

[Verse 1] Our naked bodies go on trial Just for laughing at the joke Just for saying of the bargain What any salesgirl already knows Most of us old men die in the firing line Just waiting for our number to be called [Refrain] I guess time just makes fools of us all Oh, I guess time just makes fools of us all [Verse 2] The Memphis king regales his stepsons When he's loaded as a gun Says, "A real man is like a country You need a map to find your one" Now why do you suppose you must approach the throne With its back up against the wall? [Refrain] I guess time just makes fools of us all Oh, Lord, I guess time just makes fools of us all [Bridge] My drink is watered down My champion's on his knees He lost a rematch, he lost a comeback He lost for charity But that's the job It's what gets the asses in the hall Watching time just make fools of us all [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 3] The groom is a liar And the bride is a shill The priest says, "If these two don't make it Who among us ever will?" Don't ask the love you dare for a prediction Wherein the lovers of tomorrow are involved [Refrain] I guess time just makes fools of us all Oh, Lord, I guess time just makes fools of us all [Outro] I guess time just makes fools of us all Oh, I guess time just makes fools of us all
