Govt Mule - Towering Fool lyrics

Yeah, somebody somewhere must have hurt you You must have been really abused A victim of your raising Isn't that your excuse Towering Fool In a dream I watched you inflict yourself On everyone within reach Now frozen in time I see it still Like a movie How long has it been since you shook the hand Of those who fell under your feet And how long has it been since you washed yours clean From the blood and the dirt of the street Did you really think you could just fly away Fly right out of those blues Did you towering fool Don't you know greatness comes to those who can hold it Did it slip right through your hands Did it brush your sleeve as it passed you by Do you compare yourself now to then All this pent up anger Don't you feel alone ranger Don't you towering fool So you use every ounce of your energy To keep those around you down But there is a tear in the eye of the ring master And a smile on the face of the clown Yeah, you couldn't see through your own arrogance To what the whole world already knew You had to keep pushing it past the point Till it all crumbled down on you Didn't you towering fool
