"Take Me For A Fool"


Take Me For A Fool

© 1988 Vin Colella and Brian Hutzell

I told you it takes time; I'm not rushing it
That's one way to get trapped
I'm not trying to muscle in till the time is right
People always told me I should be on my way
Never think about tomorrow--just live for today

Last in line, biding my time
Take me for a fool, did you?
Step by step, closer to you
Take me for a fool, but I'm from a different school

Sitting back, but not too far, planning my attack
Could be any day
Look at you--dancing all around in the air
Go and do as you may; I'm keeping you in sight
Now it's come to terms and I'm on my way
I'll take the lead tomorrow 'cause I set the stage today

Last in line, biding my time
Take me for a fool, did you?
Step by step, closer to you
Take me for a fool and you're gonna regret it

Out of time, out of reach
You were almost there, but you took a fall
Watch me as I go slowly strolling by
I look back and hear you call,
"People always told me I should be on my way
Never think about tomorrow, just live for today."

Last in line, biding my time
Take me for a fool, did you?
Step by step, closer to you
Take me for a fool, a fool no more

My art career only lasted a few short years, mostly in Cambridge, but also with shows in Queens and Des Moines. Much of my digital art only exists virtually. I’d love to put together another exhibit in the physical world, with high quality prints of the artworks since my last show at The Lift in Des Moines.

"Do What You're Able"

Only once in a great while did I attempt to write a dumb pop song. Even less often did I try to write a dumb folk song. This was the result. It’s a dumb folk song, all right, so in that sense, I succeeded. The better goal, however, would have been to write a GOOD dumb folk song or a GOOD dumb pop song. It’s harder than you think. Go ahead. Try it. All those “Dumb” songs on the radio aren’t so dumb after all.

Do What You're Able

Do what you're able
Do what you can
Do what you want to
For your fellow man

Go where you want to
Go where you can
Go where you're needed
By your fellow man

Say what comes easy
Say what you can
Speak up for justice
For your fellow man

Be someone useful
Be what you can
Be willing and able
To help your fellow man
