Insanity |
| I’m so sorry; |
| please, forgive me |
| Who do I pray to straighten out this problem? |
| Straighten out this problem; |
| straighten out my mind |
| Straighten out this crooked tongue… |
| My mind has wandered from the straight and narrow |
| My mind has wandered from the flock, you see |
| My mind has wandered; |
| the man just said so |
| My mind has wandered; |
| I heard it on TV |
| And the flock has wandered away from me |
| All around the world, now |
| Like a big, bright cherry cloud |
| Traveling from home to home |
| TV sets and telephones |
| Here it comes, just like a storm |
| Bathe in it and be reborn |
| Time to let the world know |
| Welcome madness, say hello… |
| Like a wave we cannot see |
| Washing over you and me |
| Hiding here and hiding there |
| Madness hiding everywhere |
| Such a curiosity |
| Here it comes to set us free |
| Plenty left for you and me |
| Say hello, insanity |
| I am the virus; |
| are you the cure? |
| I am morally— I’m morally impure |
| I am a disease and I am unclean |
| I am not part of God’s well-oiled machine |
| Christian nation, assimilate me |
| Take me in your arms and set me free |
| I am part of a degenerate elite |
| Dragging our society into the street |
| Into the abyss and to the sewer, don’t you see? |
| The man just told me, he told me on TV |
| Do you think you’re better than me? |
| Do you want to kill me or befriend me? |
| And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me |
| His voice was filled with evangelical glee |
| Sipping down his gin and tonics |
| While preaching about the evils of narcotics |
| And the evils of sex and the wages of sin |
| While he mentally fondles his next of kin |
| My mind has wandered from the flock, you see |
| And the flock has wandered away from me |
| And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me! |
| Let’s imitate reality—insanity |
| Let’s strive for mediocrity—insanity |
| Let’s make believe we’re all the same—now, that’s the thing |
| Let’s sanitize our little brains—insanity |
| I’d love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed |
| I’d love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head |
| I’d love to hear you laugh tonight; |
| I’d love to hear you weep |
| I’d love to listen to you while you’re screaming in your sleep |
| Christian sons, Christian daughters |
| Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter |
| Purify my brain and hose down my soul |
| White perfection; |
| perfection is my goal |
| Do you think you’re better than me? |
| Do you want to kill me or befriend me? |
| Christian nation, make us all right |
| Put us through the filter, and make us pure and white |
| My mind has wandered from the flock, you see |
| And the flock has wandered away from me |
| Let’s talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter |
| Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters |
| The white folks think they’re at the top; |
| ask any proud white male |
| A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle |
| All around the world, now |
| Like a big, bright cherry cloud |
| Traveling from home to home |
| TV sets and telephones |
| Here it comes, just like a storm |
| Bathe in it and be reborn |
| Time to let the world know |
| Welcome madness, say hello… |
| Like a wave we cannot see |
| Washing over you and me |
| Hiding here and hiding there |
| Madness hiding everywhere |
| Such a curiosity |
| Here it comes to set us free |
| Plenty left for you and me |
| Say hello, insanity |
| Let’s imitate reality—insanity |
| Let’s strive for mediocrity—insanity |
| Let’s make believe we’re all the same—now, that’s the thing |
| Let’s sanitize our little brains—insanity |
| I’d love to take you home with me; |
| I’d love to tuck you in |
| I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin |
| I’d love to hear you scream tonight; |
| I’d love to hear you cry |
| Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky |
| Let’s imitate reality—insanity |
| Let’s strive for mediocrity—insanity |
| Let’s make believe we’re all the same—now, that’s the thing |
| Let’s sanitize our little brains—insanity |
| I’d love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed |
| I’d love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head |
| I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box |
| On Sundays, I would pray for you so it would never stop |
| I’d love to hear you laugh tonight; |
| I’d love to hear you weep |
| I’d love to listen to you while you’re screaming in your sleep |
| I’d love to soothe you with my voice and take you hand in mine |
| I’d love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time |
| I’d love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart |
| To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart |
| I’d love to take you satin dolls and tear them all to shreds |
| I’d love to mess your pretty hair; |
| I’d love to see you dead! |
