Insanity (long version) Lyrics & Tabs by Oingo Boingo
Insanity (long version)
guitar chords lyrics
refrain:
I'm so sorry, please forgive
who do I pray to 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
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
& 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
refrain
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 away from me
Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch
theslaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary
daughters
The white folks think they're at the top
ask any proud whitemale
A million years of evolution, we
get Danny Quayle
refrain
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
refrain
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 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
