everyone has been called a fool at some point in their lives- sometimes well deserved and other times not at all. i suppose this song is a sarcastic "fuck off" to anyone who ever degrades or makes another person feel a fool when they did not deserve it or just needed help, while at the same time it is an acceptance of the times i HAVE been a fool, and a hope that i can learn from those mistakes or bad ways of living and make a better life...throw down the hammer of the past and march forward in joy and peace to the beat of my own drum. everybody plays the fool...sometimes.
