Martin Luther, who did you think that you were? Appointed by some higher up Merely mortal, your plans were unaffordable No one wants to pay for love Oh, you beautiful fool Swimming upstream, kicking up waves Dreams weren't meant to come true That's why they call 'em dreams Oh, you beautiful fool Walter Cronkite preempted Disney one night And all us kids were so upset We thought that you were a trouble instigator Marching through our TV set Oh, you beautiful fool Swimming upstream, kicking up waves Dreams weren't meant to come true That's why they call 'em dreams Oh, you beautiful fool To fight a fight without a fist All human instinct puzzles this How dare you threaten our existence? Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ History repeats itself so nice Consistently we are resistant to love Saw you on the black and white With blacks and whites applauding you Saw you on another time Without a sign of life in you Oh, you beautiful fool Swimming upstream, kicking up waves Dreams weren't meant to come true That's why they call 'em dreams Oh, you beautiful fool Oh, you beautiful fool
