set out on the voyage of the conquering fools
looking for the gold and the modern day jewels
it come to pass what was stuck in my head
if i didn't quit on looking then i'm probably dead

i hit the road and i rolled up north
looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
uh ha ha

people come and people go
but they never know what is going on
so they gotta try to be what they want to be
what the hell is happening to me

i hit the road and i rolled up north
looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
i set out about an hour ago
looking for my gold, and said hey oh
then i went down looking for the big
the big brass show
so i went and then he started to go
walking down the same old, same old road
thinking to myself, this is quite a struggle
what am i gotta do tomorrow
gonna find that gold
and conquer me some fools
yeeaaaaaaahhh

long long time ago
i find myself looking for fools
and when i did not let myself know
that these fools where inside my mind
id love to do right all the time
but i found that there are times
when i love to do so wrong
and i know that the fools
are at the bottom of it all

when no substance can control you
you done conquere that fool

when that alochohol can not own you
you done conquere that fool

and when no one person runs you
you must conquere that fool

and when you learn in them books everything ya need to know
well you can conquere them fools
you can conquere them fools that ya like
yall dont have to go
