Strawbs - Heavy Disguise lyrics

Ford Crowded afternoon and there's not enough room in the city today The people a**embled 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, we've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise. 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 Fools must pretend to be wise Fools must pretend to be wise, we've a faith that we use as a heavy disguise.
