The Idiots' Ball

Alan P. Scott - Verses - Lyrics

don't give up


      Am                    Em
Don't give yourself up to reality
      C                       Am
Don't dare make the dream go away
      Am                     Em
Don't give up your grip on insanity
         C                      Em
It's the only thing keeping you sane.

CHORUS I:
F                 G
In this crazy ol' world
    F                           G
The madman is the sanest of 'em all
        F            G
And the loony is the leader
               Am
At the Idiot's Ball.

Don't give up your soul to normality
Don't sell what you wanted to save.
Acceptance is just a formality -
To be different you have to be brave.

CHORUS II:
In this cold and maniacal world
The madman is the sanest of 'em all
And the ruler is retarded
At the Idiot's Ball.

[bridge]

Don't ever lose sight of the fantasy
Don't bow to the usual crowd.
The speeches they make are inanity
No matter how long or how loud.

CHORUS III:
In this lunatic world
The madman is the sanest of 'em all
And the moron is the master
At the Idiot's Ball...
