He Wasn't Fooling

He wasn't fooling when he put on the brakes
He wasn't fooling—no it was no mistake
You keep on driving and you certainly will find
He wasn't fooling

He wasn't fooling when he said 'Hands Up'
He wasn't fooling no this was your bad luck
Misunderstanding, and there's no time to ask
He wasn't fooling

You can cover up your ears
And you can cover your eyes
You can fool yourself
With the right disguise

He wasn't fooling when he hit the wall
He wasn't fooling just like a basketball
He won too many
And one too many won
He wasn't fooling

He wasn't fooling when he said he would leave
He wasn't fooling but she would not believe
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right no more
He wasn't fooling

Well it ain't no lie and it ain't no joke
When you see that fire there is going to be smoke
You oughta know now everyone is not your friend
When you look down the barrel of the business end
