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 off 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 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
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Every mornin', 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 the 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
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'll tell you this
(Fool to remain sane)
(Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane)
(It takes a fool to remain sane)
(It takes a) fool to remain sane
'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
(Fool to remain sane)
(Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane)
(It takes a fool to remain sane)
(Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane)
