Supertramp – Fool's Overture Lyrics 12 years ago
The song is about Neville Chamberlain, who was derided as a fool for trying to appease the Nazi's leading up to WWII. Chamberlain resigned after the fall of France and the Battle of Britain was about to begin. Churchill took over as Prime Minister. Chamberlain was dead within a few months from cancer.
The song was not meant to paint Chamerlain as fool, but to honor his memory. A noble man with noble intentions, he was just in the wrong place and time in history
