Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) [Caught in the Act]

[Intro: Dennis DeYoung]

Relax, take it easy

[Verse 1: Tommy Shaw]

You see the world through your cynical eyes

You're a troubled young man I can tell

You got it all in the palm of your hand

But your hand’s wet with sweat, and your head needs a rest

[Chorus: Tommy Shaw]

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it

You’re kidding yourself if you don't believe it

[Verse 2: Tommy Shaw]

Why must you be such an angry young man

When your future looks quite bright to me

And how can there be such a sinister plan

That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man

[Chorus: Tommy Shaw]

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it

You're killing yourself if you don't believe it

Get up, (Get up!) get back on your feet

You're the one they can't beat, and you know it

Yeah, come on, (Come on!) let’s see what you’ve got

Just take your best shot and don't blow it

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Chorus: Tommy Shaw]

And you’re fooling yourself if you don't believe it

You're killing yourself if you don't believe it

Get up, (Get up!) get back on your feet

You’re the one they can't beat, and you know it

Oh, come on, (Come on!) let's see what you've got

Just take your best shot and don't blow it

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
