Foolish young bastard You shouldn't do things half-assed Going out the world backwards Foolish young bastard You're such a big tall man You shouldn't sell yourself short You got the really big deals nipping hard at your heels Why you want to go and blow it So suave and wily you can cut em while your smiling Its those times when you forget that gets you in a mess A man can fail before he knows it Foolish young bastard Too damned smart to even know it Take that turn a little faster You foolish young bastard Such a foolish young bastard Got it all so figured out Can you back it up in plaster? Foolish young bastard You'll either prove them all wrong or be a disaster Foolish young bastard
