A Foolhardy Song - ApologetiX

They like to get you mad and cause some guys a conniption

Well, they might giggle, too, and laugh right in your face

Yeah, they think it’s so cute when they’ve got to act unchristian

But I think we should show them His grace

And I say

Why fight a fool by being foolish?

He always wins

When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins

He’ll laugh at you or insist he wasn’t wrong

And then you’ll come out regrettin' it

Well, I finally sought out the authority on these things

Oh, yeah!

Solomon the preacher, he said if we think we’ll not fight

He said, foolish speech won’t lengthen if you shut up, son

He said, though the stuff that you told them could prevent them dyin'

Ooh, they’re dyin' to make it sound like all that was dumb

And so I say

Why fight a fool by being foolish?

He always wins

When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins

He’ll laugh at you or insist he wasn’t wrong

And you’ll come out regrettin' it

29:9 in Proverbs read it thoroughly now with friends

LEAD

I say, Oh no -- no no

I say, Oh no -- no no

I say, Oh no -- no no no

Why fight a fool by being foolish?

He always wins

Why fight a fool by being foolish?

He always wins

Take a hint!

He’ll laugh at you or insist he wasn’t wrong

And then you’ll come out regrettin' it

Can’t outfight a fool at being foolish -- he always wins

Can’t outfight a fool at being foolish -- he always wins

When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins

He’ll laugh at you or insist he wasn’t wrong

And then you’ll come out regrettin' it

Can’t outfight a fool at being foolish -- he always wins

So I say

Why fight a fool by being foolish?

He always wins

When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins

He’ll laugh at you or insist he wasn’t wrong

And you’ll come out regrettin' it

Can’t outfight a fool at being foolish -- he always wins
