FORTUNE FAVOURS FOOLS
(written 2012-2013/recorded 2013)



some chosen ones are born with
a golden spoon in their mouth
lucky bastards squander
while the others will go south

he never raised a finger
lets servants wipe his ass
shallow-brained and gawky
he gets topped up his glass

he came into the money
inherited it all
a trust fund casualty, so
he has a constant ball

few winners, many losers
these are eternal rules
while we bob up and down
dame fortune favours fools

fortune favours fools

he never cared at college
to earn a better grade
he was merely hell-bent
to lead the booze brigade

philandering, womanising
cloddy, pimpled, rude
still lots of friends on assbook
because of all his loot

“i wish i was a glowworm
a glowworm’s never glum
‘cos how can you be grumpy
when the sun shines out your bum”

you realise the envy
you realise the grudge
i’m gonna eat my heart out
though i know i might misjudge

the wheel of fortune seems to
hit those who don’t deserve
or does the strike itself spoil
the innocent by birth

i wish i was a rich fool
throw money down the drain
a trustafarian who
doesn’t care a fig for a brain

few ride the gravy train and
these are eternal rules
most are chained to the oars while
dame fortune favours fools

fortune favours fools

few winners, many losers
these are eternal rules
while we bob up and down
dame fortune favours fools

fortune favours fools
