Insanity Lyrics

    I'm so sorry, please forgive me
    Who do i pray to to straighten out this problem?
    Straighten out this problem, straighten out my mind.
    Straighten out this crooked toungue...
    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.

    -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 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 streeet
    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 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 sex, and 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 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 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 evolution, we get danny quayle

    (chorus)

    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

    (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 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 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 mind, to 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 hair, i'd love to see you dead.
