Lyrics
I see a clinic full of cynics
I observe a clinic filled with skeptics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrist
Individuals who desire to manipulate and control others
They're watching every move we make
They are closely monitoring every action we take
We're all included on the list
We are all part of a targeted group
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The mentally unstable individuals are now in control
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
This situation is emphasized by repeating that the lunatics are in charge
No nuclear the cowboy told us
A warning against nuclear actions, advised by a cowboy figure
And who am I to disagree
The speaker acknowledges the advice but questions their authority
'cause when the madman flips the switch
Concerns about a madman initiating a catastrophic event
The nuclear will go for me
The potential impact of the nuclear event on the speaker
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Reiteration that the mentally unstable have taken control
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Emphasizing the current dominance of the lunatics
I've seen the faces of starvation
Recognition of suffering, but an inability to comprehend its significance
But I just can not see the points
A paradoxical situation where abundant food coexists with starvation
'cause there's so much food here today
Despite starvation, there is an abundance of food today
That no one wants to take away
No one is willing to address the issue and distribute the excess food
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Reaffirmation of the lunatics' control over the situation
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Continued emphasis on the lunatics' dominance
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken away the speaker's right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken away the speaker's point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Reiteration that the mentally unstable are in control
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my dignity,
The lunatics have stripped away the speaker's dignity
Take these things away from me
Specific things have been taken away from the speaker
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Reaffirmation of the lunatics' control over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my family,
The lunatics have taken away the speaker's family
Take away the right to speak
The right to speak has been revoked by the lunatics
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view,
Another mention of the removal of the speaker's point of view
Take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken away the speaker's right to choose
