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
Because ridicule is no shame
It�s just a way to eclipse hate
It�s just a way to put my back straight
It�s just a way to remain sane

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 that?
�cause they�ve forgotten how to play
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
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
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
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame
It takes a fool to remain sane,
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame.
