Supertramp - Fool's Overture lyrics

History recalls how great the fall can be While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea Borne on the wings of time It seemed the answers were so easy to find "too late," the prophets cry The island's sinking, let's take to the sky Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride Everyone was laughing up until the day he died And though the wound went deep Still he's calling us out of our sleep My friends, we're not alone He waits in silence to lead us all home So tell me that you find it hard to grow Well i know, i know, i know And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow Well i know, i know, i know Can you hear what i'm saying Can you see the parts that i'm playing "holy man, rocker man, come on queenie, Joker man, spider man, blue eyed meanie" So you found your solution What will be your last contribution? "live it up, rip it up, why so lazy? Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy, Yeah!"
