 REFRÄNG:
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
 It takes a fool  to remain sane
 It takes a fool  to remain sane
 In this world  all covered up in shame
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 seem gay
 to gain weight
 - 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
