Fools Overture — текст песни (Supertramp)

History recalls how great the fall can be

While everybodys 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 islands sinking, lets 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 hes calling us out of our sleep

My friends, were 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 youve many seeds to sow

Well I know, I know, I know



Can you hear what Im saying

Can you see the parts that Im 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, lets go crazy,

Yeah!"
