A Soapbox Opera Lyrics

I do not know who transcribed the lyrics of "Crisis? What Crisis?" when the CD was remastered. They did not follow the songbook, which I have. Here are the lyrics to the questioned parts of "A Soapbox Opera:"

"Who'll spare a listen to a restless fool, there's something missing when I lead your rule."

Replace all the "saids" with "say" (I say Sister Robinson...)

"But rather than a reason, there's a smog in my head, makes me think what you said just wasn't true. So, what am I to do, well what is he to do?"

"Maybe, well tell me what I'm living for, 'cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river."

There are also mistakes in the other songs from the 1975 Album.

@Nasamike Correct about the "saids" and "say", even vice versa. But you're others are wrong. I don't know who wrote your songbook, but I guarantee you it wasn't Roger Hodgson. "when I lead your rule" isn't just wrong, it's silly.
