Day after day they take my friends away
To mansions cold and grey
To the far side of town
Where the tin men stalk the streets
While the sane stay underground

Day after day they tell me I can go
They tell me I can blow
To the far side of town
Where it’s pointless to be high
Cause it’s such a long way down

So I tell them that - I can fly, I will scream
I will break my arm - I will do me harm
Here I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall
I’m not quite right at all - Am I?

Don’t set me free, I’m as heavy as can be
Just my Librium and me
And my E.S.T. makes three

Cause I’d rather stay here, with all the madmen
Than perish with the sad men roaming free
And I’d rather play here, with all the madmen
For I’m quite content - they’re all as sane as me

Day after day they take some brain away
They turn my face around
To the far side of town
And tell me that it’s real
Then ask me how I feel


Don’t set me free, I’m as helpless as can be
My libido split on me me
Give me some good old lobotomy

Cause I’d rather stay here, with all the madmen
Than perish with the sad men roaming free
And I’d rather play here, with all the madmen
For I’m quite content - they’re all as sane as me

Where can the horizon lie when a nation hides its organic minds in a cellar, dark and grim
They must me very dim
