Lyrics:

Crowded afternoon and there’s not enough room in the city today
The people assemble 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 THERE’S A FAITH THAT WE USE AS A HEAVY DISGUISE

Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just wringing their hands
The love in their hearts at this joining of people from faraway lands
I’ve so many questions l could ask
I wanted to be free

Cheers from the crowd for a much loved constituent lately arrived
Here’s to the soul of a man who takes toll for just staying alive
Can’t ignore the feeling in the air
Glad that l was there

Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right
And north accused south who were left with no 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
THERE’S A FAITH THAT WE USE AS A
HEAVY DISGUISE
