Don't Tell Them You're Sane |
| A boy I know is sick in his head — |
| At least that’s what the doctors say he is Shut in his room for hours on end |
| Looks like he’s forgotten, but is he His mind it ticks, more than you know |
| One day something in his head will click |
| Warders fill him full of lies, he fights he knows |
| They’ll never convince him that he’s mad! |
| At breakfast he is strapped in a chair (won't go far) |
| Just a word out of place, he’s sent to his room |
| Don’t tell them you’re sane |
| They’ll laugh and put you to sleep |
| Don’t tell them you’re sane, but you are |
| Tell me what you did today, was it good |
| What was it like and who was it with |
| Don’t think I’m prying I’d just like to know |
| Why it is you do things so slow |
| Take him to the doctor, see what he says |
| I don’t know why he bothers, he’s in for good |
