The fool
Rasmus Berggren 2002 (Linkoping)
The irrationality!
The absurd world, where people love, hate, laugh, cry and fight
We are no more than primitive animals
All we are, is experts at fooling ourselves
Every early morning, every late night, every penny in tax, we tell ourselves has a purpose.
We are to scared to realize the futility of life
The irrationality behind every rational thought
We truly are masters in fooling ourselves
