The Wave Gilders - Play the Fool
Original song played with real instruments. No grid, no editing, no auto-tune, and all in single takes.
I'm a musician from Sydney, Australia.
Story behind the song
An old song of mine, that I've rewritten and recorded for new release.
Lyrics
Well you ask me why I play the fool
You ask my why I don't respect the rules
But rules weren't made for people like me
They just serve the powers that be
So I play the fool
And the rules don't serve the likes of me and you
So I am pulling faces at the world
Laughing in the face of the absurd
Well you ask me why things don't make sense
Why these days people cannot make rent
And it's because we don't make decent pay
And those in charge want it that way
