Let's Play: WHO WROTE THIS LYRIC!
Let's Play WHO WROTE THIS LYRIC!
I'm not Bob Eubanks, but pretend that I am (as a matter of fact, I've met him many times playing gigs near his Hidden Hills Estate --- Nice guy!).
But that's neither here nor there. --- AND HERE WE GO!
Bob: "Contestant #1, who wrote these two lyrics? 'Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.' AND, for bonus points: 'And curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid Get.'
Woah, that's pretty tough! I'll hit the timer for 30 seconds --- NOW!"

GOING FOR THE BONUS POINTS:
'And curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid Get.'
The Beatles 'White Album'
It was primarily written by John Lennon, though credited to Lennon/McCartney.

As far as your BONUS POINTS answer, if I were Alex Trebek and not Bob Eubanks, I'd say "You must be more specific. What song, not what album." Eubanks would let it go as correct!

My two guesses: Either Peter Gabriel or Ian Anderson.
