"The Madding Crowd" lyrics

"The Madding Crowd"

The multitude excites, the flags are flown
By fireside the programme starts
And I am running through this madness
And all the time I can't relate

Within disorder I assume my role

Eternal indolence through ages
'Til restless souls begin to wake

Perfection within decades of dissatisfaction and disillusion
