The big bookcase it hides the window It means I cannot see out No ragged heads, no ragged minds are Going to mess me, mess me about Going to keep it right, don't mention the night Down by the lakeside, I'm sitting with pamphlets strewn all over me White squares of paper full of ideas I throw them all in into the sea They sail away, sail away Because the world is full of fools Ah, the world is full of fools Yes, the world is full of fools But it doesn't make them bad people It's a sunny day, sun like a bauble rolling over the sky Telephone conversation, someone tells me the weather is Mighty fine, the sun's divine Come on outside, enjoy yourself But I can't, I don't know why Maybe you can change that for me I know I'm deep I seem to be asleep Hold me now, squeeze me now You can do it somehow It's not too late Tell me, tell me, tell me The world is full of fools Yes, the world is full of fools Oh, the world is full of fools But it doesn't make me a bad person
