Heavy Disguise |
| Crowded afternoon and there’s not enough room in the city today |
| The people assembled to hear what resembled evangelists say |
| Some came just to see them for a laugh, others to be free |
| Fools must pretend to be wise, we’ve a faith that we use as a heavy disguise |
| Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just ringing their hands |
| The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands |
| I’d so many questions I could ask, I wanted to be free |
| Fools must pretend to be wise, we’ve a faith that we use as a heavy disguise |
| Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived |
| Here’s to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive |
| Can’t ignore the feeling in the air, glad that I was there |
| Fools must pretend to be wise, we’ve a faith that we use as a heavy disguise |
| Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right |
| And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight |
| I cannot begin to understand the suffering tonight |
| Fools must pretend to be wise |
| Fools must pretend to be wise |
| Fools must pretend to be wise, we’ve a faith that we use as a heavy disguise |
