Apologetix A Foolhardy Song Lyrics

They like to get you mad and cause some guys a conniption
Well, they might giggle, too, and laugh right in your face
Yeah, they think it's so cute when they've got to act unchristian
But I think we should show them His grace
And I say

Why fight a fool by being foolish? He always wins
When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins
He'll laugh at you or insist he wasn't wrong
And then you'll come out regrettin' it
Well, I finally sought out the authority on these things
Oh, yeah!

Solomon the preacher, he said if we think we'll not fight
He said, foolish speech won't lengthen if you shut up, son
He said, though the stuff that you told them could prevent them dyin'
Ooh, they're dyin' to make it sound like all that was dumb
And so I say

Why fight a fool by being foolish? He always wins
When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins
He'll laugh at you or insist he wasn't wrong
And you'll come out regrettin' it 29:9 in Proverbs read it thoroughly now with friends
LEAD

I say, Oh no -- no no
I say, Oh no -- no no
I say, Oh no -- no no no

Why fight a fool by being foolish? He always wins
Why fight a fool by being foolish? He always wins
Take a hint!
He'll laugh at you or insist he wasn't wrong
And then you'll come out regrettin' it
Can't outfight a fool at being foolish -- he always wins

Can't outfight a fool at being foolish -- he always wins
When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins
He'll laugh at you or insist he wasn't wrong
And then you'll come out regrettin' it
Can't outfight a fool at being foolish -- he always wins

So I say
Why fight a fool by being foolish? He always wins
When I fight a fool by being foolish, he always wins
He'll laugh at you or insist he wasn't wrong
And you'll come out regrettin' it
Can't outfight a fool at being foolish -- he always wins
