All the gods have fallen,
Grace trampled under feet,
Stepping down, making lies,
Lips speaking in deceit,
Gods of silver, gods of gold,
Donations sell your soul,
They try to tell me what to do,
They'll never take me for a fool.

Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me,
Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me.

Don't you see what they've become'
All the damage they have done'
You know what gives my spine a chill,
I see them getting richer still,
All the gods are rising,
Is it really so surprising'
Turn them off, they'll go away,
No need to hear what they say.

Fool me once, shame on you,

Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me,
Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me,
Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me.

Shame on you.
