Can't Fool The Blues Lyrics Lyrics

(Jack Bruce/Gary Moore/Kip Hanrahan) You can fool the landlord sp you don't pay the rent You can fool the world and become the president You can fool all the people some the time You can make a million dollars and cry"I don't have a lousy dime" But you can't fool the blues You can't fool the blues When you're makin' all the rules it's so hard to lose You can't fool the blues, oh no. You can fool the Romans into lending you an ear Write a story in the papers believing every smear You can fool the rich by driving around in a wreck You can get up someone's nose every time you bounce a cheque But you can't fool the blues No you can't fool the blues You can't fool the blues it just laughs at each lie Can't fool the blues, oh no. You can fool your brother into lending you his car Rub up the waitress for some coctails at the bar You can talk some bimbo into taking you home You can fool the wife into thinking you're alone But you can't fool the blues You can't fool the blues That blues chews you up and spits you right out You can't fool the blues, oh no.
