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
Let go of my hand and it will
Slip on the sand if you don't
Give me the chance
To break down the walls of attitude
I ask nothin' 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 opportunity
To feel brave
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
Ooh, every mornin' I would see her gettin' 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 drenches my fears
Of becomin' like the others
Who become unhappy mothers
And fathers of unhappy kids
And why is that?
'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'll tell you this
That it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
Oh, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket
Take it, jackpot, crackpot, struttin' like a peacock
Nail varnish, Arkansas, shimmy-shammy, feather boa
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, do
Let your heart decide
What you have to do
That's all there is to find!
Fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
It takes a fool
It takes a fool to remain the same
It takes a fool
A fool to remain the same
Oh! Do, do, do, do
What you wanna do
Don't think twice, do
What you have to do
Do, do, do, do
Let your heart decide
What you have to do
That's all there is to find
Do, do, do, do
What you wanna do
Don't think twice, do
What you have to do
Do, do, do, do
Let your heart decide
What you have to do
That's all there is to find
