The dark and distant drumming The pounding of the hooves The silence of everything that moves Late at night you'll see them Decked out in shiny jewels The coming of the caravan of fools Like the wings of a dove The waiter's white glove Seems to shimmer by the light of the pool Some dull, blinding winner When you can't stand to lose You're running with the caravan of fools The caravan of fools, caravan of fools You're running with the caravan of fools Love and devotion Deep as any ocean Don't play by anybody's rules With your carousel of horses And your unforeseen forces You're running with the caravan of fools Caravan of fools, caravan of fools You're running with the caravan of fools

Caravan's lost To the sun and the dust No one loves you When you are lost Yeah I'm a clown Pullin' my world down I believed I was strong You are the song And when it comes You'll feel the weight of it The weight of it The day will come When you'll get away from it Away from it Sometimes everything is easy Sometimes everything is easy I tried to quit But my heart won't buy it I got family The caravan come back for me And when it comes You'll feel the weight of it The weight of it And the day will come When you'll get away from it Away from it Sometimes everything is easy Sometimes everything is easy

I used to think you understood Taught me right and learnt me good Made things simple for my brain Told the truth and made it plain But the implications I mistook Until I found out whose side you took And now with paper in my hand I'm beginning to understand So this is freedom - {They must be joking} They must be joking - {If they think its true} So this is freedom - (I doubt their truth} So this is freedom - {For me and you} From the front page news to the interviews It's sink the reds and lift the blues They pretend they're differing points of view But it's only different shades of blue But the implications I mistook Until I found out whose side you took And now with paper in my hand I'm beginning to understand So this is freedom - {They must be joking} They must be joking - {If they think its true} So this is freedom - (I doubt their truth} So this is freedom - {For me and you} (Guitar Solo) So this is freedom - {They must be joking} They must be joking - {If they think its true} So this is freedom - (I doubt their truth} So this is freedom - {For me and you} F.R.E.E.D.O.M. They locked us up once So they'll do it again C.H.A.I.N.E.D. They locked up my friends Now they're coming for me

Please don't show your soul to me I think I'd see the light shine through And please don't greet me on the street I'd like to see a world without you Please don't change your uniform And start to mourn the thousands dead And please wear what you've always worn And don't be drawn by what I've said 'Cause I've found there's nothing more That I could say to you Nothing I could do to change your mind Change your ways and your tune So please don't feel you have to sway Or move away from how you feel And please say what you mean to say And always stay with a heart of steel

Clambering men in big bad boots Dug up my den, dug up my roots Treated us like plasticine town They build us up and knocked us down From Meccano to Legoland Here they come with a brick in their hand Men with heads filled up with sand It's build It's build a house where we can stay (Build) Add a new bit, everyday (Build) It's build a road for us to cross (Build) Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Build) Whistling men in yellow vans They came and drew us diagrams Showed us how it all worked out And wrote it down, in case of doubt Slow, slow, and quick, quick, quick It's wall to wall and brick to brick They work so fast it makes you sick It's build It's build a house where we can stay (Build) Add a new bit, everyday (Build) It's build a road for us to cross (Build) Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Build) Oh, build It's build It's build Down with sticks and up with bricks In with boots and up with roots It's in with suits and new recruits It's build It's build a house where we can stay (Build) Add a new bit, everyday (Build) It's build a road for us to cross (Build) Build us lots and lots and lots and lots (Build) It's build a house where we can stay (Build) Add a new bit, everyday (Build) It's build a road for us to cross (Build) Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots (Build)
