Day 185 – Fool and Shame Parade (Shorts Remix)

[Intro] 🎺 (Spoken, over brass vamp) Well now, everybody’s got an answer… But did you hear the question? [Verse 1] You cut me off before I said my name Jumped the gun and lit the flame Didn’t wait, just played your part Now look who's talkin’ with a foolish heart [Chorus] It’s the fool and shame parade Marchin’ loud down a one-way lane Didn’t listen, but you sure did speak Now you’re dancin’ in your own mistake Hey! Fool and shame parade You brought the tuba but forgot to pray Next time maybe hush a beat— Before you find both feet in defeat! [Verse 2] You had a sermon in your head Before you heard the words I said You threw your wisdom in the ring But never heard a single thing [Bridge – Call and Response] Lead: Tell me what’s wise? Choir: Keep them ears open wide! Lead: And what’s the shame? Choir: Talkin’ loud with no aim! Lead: So what’s the cure? Choir: Be quick to hear—be slow for sure! [Chorus] It’s the fool and shame parade Where the blind lead the bold astray Didn’t stop to lend an ear Now your hat’s caught fire with your own hot air Hey! Fool and shame parade Next time maybe listen and stay The Lord gave two ears and only one tongue— Might mean somethin’ before you run! [Outro – Spoken] Now hush child... and hear it right— Even the wise know when to sit tight.
