You’re a Fool
[ROGER]
You're off?

[MARK]
You wanna wait here for Benny?

[ROGER]
Is there anything else to do?

[MARK]
Anything but Maureen's show

[ROGER]
You wanna go, yes?

[MARK]
I guess

[ROGER]
For someone cool, you're a fool

[MARK]
I know

[ROGER]
But, her show's not 'til one
[MARK]
We'll do something else, it's Christmas!

[ROGER]
Oh, fun!
Some of us don't have time for that

[MARK]
Aw!

[ROGER]
Some of us get writer's block

[MARK]
What a crock

[ROGER]
Some of our parents don't pay our bills

[MARK]
Mr. Negative, 'cause he's HIV positive!

[ROGER]
You can't know, give me some latitude

[MARK]
Maybe you're blocked because of that attitude
[ROGER]
I doubt you'd bе so brave
Hell, you're scarеd to see your ex

[MARK]
I'm a chicken shit
A hypocrite -- I admit

[ROGER]
I rest my case
For someone cool, you're a fool

[MARK]
Let's make a deal

[ROGER]
No deals

[MARK]
I'll see Maureen if you come out tonight

[ROGER]
I don't fit in anymore, all right!
Anyway, I'm working

*Roger playing chords*
[ROGER]
It's scratchy

[MARK]
It recalls something, but it's catchy

[ROGER]
The inspired zone of my brain has astrophied
But, I need to leave my mark before I croak

[MARK]
Not funny!

[ROGER]
No joke
I wish that I could turn the days I wasted
Toying with dope, fiends, and groupies
Into days spent obsessing over details
The way that you do

[MARK]
If you only knew
I spend so much time obsessing, it's depressing
For someone cool, you're the fool
You want to rediscover the spark
Leave a mark, share something with someone
Face your fears

[ROGER]
What's that I hear?
Maureen, did you say?

[MARK]
Touche

[MARK & ROGER]
For someone cool, you're a-

*knock on the door*

[MARK & ROGER]
Shit!

*another knock*

[MARK & ROGER]
Hi!

*another knock*

[MARK & ROGER]
The lock!

*another knock*

[MARK & ROGER]
Damn!
