They come to take the earth away

And what they leave is not enough

For all they get is just a field

And it's the biggest kind of bluff

And I have seen them at their work

And I have watched them at their play

And I've been near enough to hear

Them saying

"Now we're on our way"

But it's fool's gold

The things they do are all for fool's gold

For everything is built on fool's gold

The end result is only fool's gold

And I have seen them on the hill

They've been around now for some time

But all they do is laugh and drink

And seem to think that they're divine

And I have watched them move the earth

And I have heard them close their deals

And I have thought that they are fools

For taking things away from me

For it's fool's gold

The things they do are all for fool's gold

For everything is built on fool's gold

The end result is only fool's gold
