Jรธrund Almรฅs / Mr. Kronskij Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes she was lonely
She was lonely
I miss my baby
I played the fool and hurt you
What is wrong with me
Clearly I can't see
I played the fool and lose you
There is no one else
Baby
All she needed was a little time
To be there with me
No cars no flights no time apart
Because she was lonely
How could I be so blind
It was rite before me
She didn't care about my money
I played the fool and hurt you
What is wrong with me
Clearly I can't see
I played the fool and lose you
The blame is on myself
There is no one else
Baby
I've spent all my time not seeing
It was just about my dreams
When she was always there
I was so unfair
She find the time for me
She was so so so in love
So in love with me
I've hurt this girl and now she's gone
I can't believe I've
Played the fool and hurt you
What is wrong with me
Clearly I can't see
I played the fool and lose you
The blame is on myself
There is no one else
Yes I just wanna know
How could I be so god damn blind
How could I never ever find the time
For you girl oh yes
For you girl baby
I said how could I be so god damn blind
How could I never ever find the time
For you girl oh babe
For you
I've played the fool and hurt you
What is wrong with me
Clearly I can't see
I played the fool and lose you
The blame is on myself
There is no one else
All she needed was a little time
To be there with me
No cars no flights no time apart
Because she was lonely
In "The Fool," Jรธrund Almรฅs, also known as Mr. Kronskij, reflects on how society is often deceived by those in power through their manipulation of information and the media. The lyrics are critical of the constant bombardment of news and information that often misleads or confuses those who consume it. The repeated phrases โblack, white, and grayโ and โhow can they fool us todayโ highlight the themes of deception and confusion present throughout the song.
The verse โThey try to pump it up, forget about the facts, Sometimes it hurts but it's never taken backโ speaks to the sensationalization of news and information that overshadows the importance of truth and accuracy. The line โIt's all good news, we can buy and sell, Yeh! Don't stop now you can't unring a bellโ suggests that society is conditioned to believe that everything is positive and can be bought and sold, regardless of the actual circumstances.
The chorus serves as a call to action, encouraging listeners to hold their heads up high and question the information presented to them. The song offers a critique of the media and the powers that manipulate it, urging listeners to think critically about the news and information they consume.
Line by Line Meaning
They say it's not the money
People say that money is not the most important thing in life
You know it's not the money
But you know that money is still very important
Can you figure out what you want
Do you know what you really want in life?
What you need?
And what do you truly need to be happy?
They try to pump it up, forget about the facts
People often exaggerate things and ignore the truth
Sometimes it hurts but it's never taken back
Their actions can hurt, but they never admit to being wrong
The left is right, the right is left
People's beliefs and values are often mixed up and confusing
Oh yeah, I gotta get this thing right off my chest
I need to speak my mind and express my feelings
[Chorus] Black, white and gray, what can you do What can you say?
In a world with many shades of gray, what can you really do or say to make a difference?
How can they fool us today?
And how do people still fall for lies and deception in today's world?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry
But despite it all, stay positive and find the humor in everything
Talkin' twenty-four, seven, we're losin' what we're getting'
In the constant noise and chatter of modern life, we are losing sight of what truly matters
They slap you down, with a call from up above
Those in power often use their authority to keep others in line
It's a window to the world
But technology and media can also provide us with a glimpse into other cultures and experiences
A word to every man
And can be used to spread messages to everyone
Just getting' it up, we'll all do what we can
We're all just trying to make the most of what we have
They do it all for you, much better than the rest
And those in charge claim to be doing what's best for us all
Hey, it's all right if you can pass the test
But only if you follow the rules and play their game
[Chorus] Black, white and gray, what can you do What can you say?
Once again, the world is full of shades of gray with no clear solutions
How can they fool us today?
And how do we still fall for the same old tricks and lies?
Catch the falling sky, we're all gonna die anyway
In the grand scheme of things, our lives are short and meaningless
How can they fool us today?
So why do we keep letting others fool us and control our lives?

Yes, she's quite good, but when you try to emulate another singer - in her case, Reba McIntyre - people tend to overlook you.

When country music was country music. Lee Ann's voice counterbalanced against that crying steel guitar is amazing. Only Lee Ann can sing this and do it justice.
