Whatever happened to the funky race?
A generation lost in pace
Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss I'll change your bore for my bliss
But let go of my hand and it will slip out
In the sand if you don't give me the chance
To break down the walls of attitude
I ask nothing of you,
Not even your gratitude
And if you think I'm corny
Then it will not make me sorry
It's your right to laugh at me
And in turn, that's my oppurtunity
To feel brave.
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, In this world all covered up in shame
Every morning I would see
Her getting off the bus the
Picture never drops it's like
A multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain
It kept me sane for a couple of years
As it drenched my fears
Of becoming like the others
Who become unhappy mothers
And fathers of unhappy kids,
And why is this?
'Cause they've forgotten how to play
Or maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
To seem strange
To seem insane
To gain weight
To seem gay
I tell you this
That it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, In this world all covered up in shame
(Oh, take it to the stage!)
So, take it to the stage
In a multicoloured jacket take it jackpot, crackpot
Strutting like a peacock
Nailvarnish Arkansas
Shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut dye
Your hair in glowing red and blue!
Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do
Don't think twice, do what you have to do
Do, Do, Do, let your heart decide
What you have to do that's all there is to find!
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, In this world all covered up in shame
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, In this world all covered up in shame
