Wisdom Of A Fool

You can feed a lot of people

With a million

You can build a lot of houses

With a billion or two

Just imagine what could happen

With a trillion or more

We could beautify

And harmonize the world

Since the time of Cain and Able

Modern man has not been able

To reconcile that deed O so cruel

For what good is wise deduction

If it leads to self destruction

That surely is the wisdom of a fool

It is written in the Bible

All we need for our survival

Is exactly what we have here

On this earth

Instead of reaching for the stars

Or colonizing Mars

We should be dealing with the problems

Here on earth

You can feed a lot of people

With a million

You can build a lot of houses

With a billion or two

Just imagine what could happen

With a trillion or more

We could beautify

And harmonize the world

In this land of milk and honey

Life means little more than money

To the rich man money always rules

How can so few have so many

And so many have so few

That surely is the wisdom of a fool

You can read it in the paper

You can hear it on the news

How can we treat each other

O so cruel

Professing to be wise

We reject the truth for lies

That surely is the wisdom of a fool

You can feed a lot of people

With a million

You can build a lot of houses

With a billion or two

Just imagine what could happen

With a trillion or more

We could beautify

And harmonize the world

You'd better listen politicians

Presidents and kings

What good is all your money

Or your jewels

If you think your wealth will save you

When you're dead and in the grave

That surely is the wisdom of a fool

Since the time of Cain and Able

Modern man has not been able

To reconcile that deed O so cruel

For what good is wise deduction

If it leads to self destruction

That surely is the wisdom of a fool

That surely is the wisdom of a fool

That surely is the wisdom of a fool

That surely is the wisdom of a fool

You can feed a lot of people

With a million

You can build a lot of houses

With a billion or two

Just imagine what could happen

With a trillion or more

We could beautify

And harmonize the world

We could beautify

And harmonize the world

We could beautify

And harmonize the world
