Village Idiot
Verse 1
Society has always shun
Those that are different
In communities of old
They were the village idiots
Poor unfortunate wretches
Beaten and tormented
Paraded in the square
Humiliation unabated
Chorus 1
Hail the village idiot
Yelling in the square
Hail the village idiot
Not that he cares
Verse 2
As time moved on
And towns grew larger
Village idiots were herded
And treated by doctors
Large buildings were home
Electric treatment their friend
Society soon forgot them
Locked up till the end
Chorus 1
Hail the village idiot
Yelling in the square
Hail the village idiot
Not that he cares
Verse 3
Now the tables turn
Idiots rise to the top
Its us that are beaten
Its us they forgot
Village idiots control the wealth
Village idiots control the health
Village idiots make the laws
Village idiots start the wars
Chorus 1
Hail the village idiot
Yelling in the square
Hail the village idiot
Not that he cares
Chorus 2
Hail the village idiot
Rooms full of guns
Hail the village idiot
Finger on the button
