Oingo Boingo - Insanity lyrics
rate me
I'm so sorryplease forgive me
Who do I pray to to straighten out this problem?
Straighten out this problemstraighten out my mind.
Straighten out this crooked toungue...
My mind has wanderedfrom the straight and narrow.
My mind has wandered from the flock you see.
My mind has wanderedthe man just said so.
My mind has wanderedI heard it on tv.
And the flock has wandered away from me.
-chorus-
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 madnesssay 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 virusare you the cure?
I am morallyI'm morally impure
I am a disease and I am unclean
I am not part of god's well oiled machine
Christian nationassimilate me
Take me in your arms and set me free
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the streeet
Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
The man just told mehe told me on tv
Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me
And the alchoholic bastard waved his finger at me
His voice was filled with evanglical glee
Sipping down his gin and tonics
While preaching about the evils of narcotics
And the evils of sexand the wages of sin
While he mental 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
Let's strive for mediocrity
Let's make believe we're all the same
Let's sanitize our little brains
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 tonightI'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
Christian sonschristian daughters
Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
Purify my brain and hose down my soul
White perfectionperfection is my goal
Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me
Christian nationmake us alright
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 falues while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're on the top ask any proud white male
A million years of evolutionwe get danny quayle
(chorus)
I'd love to take you home with meI'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 tonightI'd love to hear you cry
Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky
(chorus)
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 tonightI'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 your 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 mindto tear it all apart
To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart
I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
I'd love to mess your pretty hairI'd love to see you dead.
