[Verse 1]

Do you remember when we were young?

Right back when

The weak would get a hand from the strong?

Do you remember when we were young?

(Oh yes, sir)

(I do remember that)

We were taught that certain things should not change

We were taught that our laws

Should be the same for all who did wrong

And then the simple things had to change

(Oh yes, sir)

(I do remember that)

And then he came in riding a hog

He told us how it really was

And many were dejected and lost

And he reeled them in, with his...

[Chorus]

Fools' rule!

Fake news!

Never made us safe

Fools' rule!

Fake news!

Never made us great

Fools' rule!

Fake news!

Take it faker!

Fools' rule!

Fake news!

It's gonna have to be paid for

[Verse 2]

Do you remember when lies were lies?

Before the bots

Came searching for the leaderless

Back when we thought we could believe our eyes?

(Oh yes, sir)

(I can remember that)

And then he came in riding a dog

He told us it was really a horse

And everyone exclaimed "Of course!"

But nobody believed him!

[Chorus]

Fools' rule!

(You're fooling yourselves)

Fake news!

(Fooling yourself)

Take it faker!

Fools' rule!

(You're fooling yourselves)

Fake news!

(Fooling yourself)

It's gonna have to be paid for

[Bridge]

You can wait for fate to change

Decide to look the other way

Or you can make your fate today

And bring the fake down

And bring the fake down

Bring the fake down

And bring the fake down

Bring the fake down

[Chorus]

Fools' rule!

(You're fooling yourselves)

Fake news!

(Fooling yourself)

Never made us safe

Fools' rule!

(You're fooling yourselves)

Fake news!

(Fooling yourself)

Never made us great

Fools' rule!

(You're fooling yourselves)

Fake news!

(Fooling yourself)

Take it faker!

Fools' rule!

(You're fooling yourselves)

Fake news!

(Fooling yourself)
