Crowded afternoon and there's not enough room in the city today

C5      G5                  Bb5        F5            C5         D5
The people assembled to hear what resembled evangelists say

G5
Some came just to see them for a laugh

           Bb5 F5 C5      
Others to be free

C5      G5            Bb5      
Fools must pretend to be wise

  F5                        C5         D5    G5  C5  D5  G5  C5 D5
We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.



Same chords ..


Tears from the crowd with men crying aloud or just ringing their hands

The love in their hearts at this joining of people from far away lands

I'd so many questions I could ask

I wanted to be free

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.



Cheers from the crowd for a much-loved constituent lately arrived

Here's to the soul of the man who takes toll for just staying alive

Can't ignore the feeling in the air

Glad that I was there

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.



Evening drew on with a change of opinion from left wing and right

And North accused South who were left little doubt that they needed to fight

I cannot begin to understand

The suffering tonight

Fools must pretend to be wise

We've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
