The Western Civilization - Fool Lyrics

Take a breath and then you let out a sigh
Feels so much better when you hear yourself lie
Whatever makes you fall asleep tonight
Don't let it haunt you when you turn out the lights

I let it roll off the tip of your tongue
You say you missed me and you knew I was the one
But I can spot a false prophet in the sky
Can see the bullshit in your pretty brown eyes

Don't let it haunt you when you fall asleep
You'll play me for the fool
Don't let it haunt you when you fall back to sleep
You'll play me for the fool

We'll play this game of cat and mouse
Force a home into a rented house
Reproduce the worst parts of ourselves
Then pawn our problems off on someone else

You'll make excuses for the way that I am
Don't ever sleep and you're getting too thin
Sign the Christmas cards from both of us
Your son won't see you for a couple of months

I said I miss him and I meant to write
But your not there to tuck him in at night
What a way to f*ck him up for good
He'll probably never get over this

Don't let it haunt you when you fall asleep
You'll play him for the fool
Don't let it haunt you when you fall back to sleep
You'll play him for the fool
