It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane

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 opportunity
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, it takes a fool to remain sane

Every morning I would see her getting off the bus
The picture never drops it’s like a multicolored 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
Or maybe they’re afraid to feel ashamed

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, it takes a fool to remain sane

To seem strange, to seem insane
To gain weight, to seem gay
I tell you this

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, it takes a fool to remain sane
