[Verse 1]
The train that I got onto up and left that town
Threw it up as it went down
Strange enough, it left me rude and turned around
Watched as they all took their vows

[Chorus]
Fools were drawing, trying to save that day
I don't doubt that anyway

[Verse 2]
Phase it out until the older ones return
Have a seat and watch it burn
Trace around the corner, this is what I've learned
Always waited for my turn

[Chorus]
Fools were drawing, trying to save that day
I don't doubt that anyway
Fools were drawing, trying to save that day
I don't doubt that anyway

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
