One Fool from Get Busy by Mo Stanton

The apples are ripenin' high on the trees
The wheat's piled high in the granaries
All is peaceful in the sleeping town
Only takes one fool to burn it down
Only takes one fool
Only takes one fool to strike the match
To set the fuse, to send the dispatch
To start the rumor that widens the rift
To lead the lemmings over the cliff
Only takes one fool

Only takes one fool to rock the boat
To give the order, to cast the vote
To push the button, to throw the switch
To drive the school bus into a ditch
Only takes one fool

Only takes one fool who's sure he's right
To strike the blow, to start the fight
Only takes one fool
Only takes one fool
Only takes one fool just raisin' hell
To plant the bomb, to poison the well
To pull the trigger, to roll the dice
To steer the great ship into the ice
Only takes one fool

Only takes one fool in the heat of the night
To sign the warrant, to put out the light
To rip a hole in a masterpiece
To whip the mob into a raging beast
Only takes one fool

Only takes one fool in the throes of wrath
To stoke the ego of a psychopath
Only takes one fool
Only takes one fool

Only takes one fool to spread the lie
That a million voices will amplify
To render the punchline of a twisted joke
Send a billion lives right up in smoke
Only takes one fool
Only takes one fool
Only takes one fool
