It takes a fool to remain sane

"Tanti pensano, credono, sperano, o temono, che la terapia serva a cambiare le persone. Ma non è così. In realtà le persone, noi tutti, siamo già stati cambiati. Ci hanno cambiato coattivamente dall'esterno. La terapia, al contrario, serve a chi vuole ritrovarsi, scoprire, incontrare il suo autentico sé, quello che era prima di essere cambiato."

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'f my hand and it will slip out in 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 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's that?
'Cause they've forgotten how to play
or maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
to seem strange
to seem insane
to gain weight
to seem gay
I tell you this:
That it takes a fool to remain sane
oh it takes a fool to remain sane
oh it takes a fool to remain sane
oh in this world all covered up in shame
So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket
take it jackpot, crackpot,
strutting like a peacock
nailvarnish Arkansas
shimmyshammy featherboah crackpot haircut
dye your hair in glowing red and blue,
Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do
Don't think twice to what you have to do,
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
Oh, In this world all covered up in shame
Oh it takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh in this world all covered up in shame.
Oh it takes a fool
Oh it takes a fool
