The Ark - It takes a fool to remain sane 

Vers: G, Am, B#, C

Bridge 1/chorus: B#, C, Dm, F

Bridge 2: B#, C, G, F


Vers 1:

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 ive me the 
chance 
to break down the walls of attitude, 
I ask nothing of you 
not even your gratitude 


Bridge

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 oppurtunity 
to feel brave 
Because ridicule is no shame 
it?s just a way to eclipse hate 
it?s just a way to put my back straight 
it?s just a way to remain sane 


Vers 2:

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? 


Bridge:

?Cause they?ve forgotten how to play 
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 
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!) 

Bridge 2


Vers 3: 

So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket take it jackpot, rackpot, 
strutting like a peacock 
nailvarnish Arkansas 
shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut 
dye your hair in glowing red and blue, 


chorus:
-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.
