a poor man, his poor wife,
his poor son
(secrets)

mighty men
mighty fools
what are you to do?

--"I will take what I can get"--
fool
fool (fool)

they're our tales to spin
our threads to weave
(our shears to use)

let go
or fray,
let go

(there's nothing to hold on to)
let go.
(the world is out of control)

your self righteousness
self sinistry
self pity
