Lyrics

[00:14.35] Crowded afternoon and there's not enough room in the city today
[00:21.89] The people assembled to hear what resembled evangelists say
[00:30.00] Some came just to see them for a laugh, others to be free
[00:37.81] Fools must pretend to be wise, we've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
[00:47.99] Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just ringing their hands
[00:55.48] The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands
[01:03.79] I'd so many questions I could ask, I wanted to be free
[01:11.36] Fools must pretend to be wise, we've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
[01:31.12] Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived
[01:38.96] Here's to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive
[01:46.98] Can't ignore the feeling in the air, glad that I was there
[01:54.78] Fools must pretend to be wise, we've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
[02:06.27] Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right
[02:11.98] And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight
[02:20.04] I cannot begin to understand the suffering tonight
[02:28.12] Fools must pretend to be wise
[02:31.97] Fools must pretend to be wise
[02:35.87] Fools must pretend to be wise, we've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
