Fools

[The Nurse]
I bear the pain you bear
I cry the tears you cry
Juliet, you must be strong
Every time I see you cry
I die, I die, we both must try
What good to you am I?

Oh, fools, men are fools
They're like stubborn mules
Refusing to bend
What can any of us do?
How much more can we go through?
When will every man lay down his sword?
When will we all live in accord?
When will the Lord visit Verona?

[Friar Lawrence]
The Prince has saved your life!
It was kind of him to banish you
Half this town is after your blood
The blood of a Montague
I say your life is worthless here
You've everything to fear

Oh, fools, men are fools
They're like stubborn mules
Refusing to bend
Where will all this end?
What can any of us do?
How much more can we go through?

[Both]
When will every man lay down his sword?
When will we all live in accord?
When will the Lord visit Verona?

[Friar Lawrence with Chorus]
Fools, men are fools
They can't live by rules
They always want more
They're in love with war
Why are they so proud to fight
And destroy with all their might?

[Both with Chorus]
Why is it important to be brave?
Why do we only start to raise?
Why can't we save precious Verona?
Verona!
