Yes, I Am Insane

Well, I’m just trying to keep up with the endless ebb and flow
But life seems to keep happening even when my eyes are closed
If I were to go blind I’d probably never even know
I mean I see the world through melodies and I feel it through my toes
People are like X-rays or like sturdy aeroplanes
I don’t know how they operate but I trust them all the same
When I come crashing down I’ll only have myself to blame
You told me it would happen and I just thought you were insane
Well I’m insane
I’m insane
I studied for a test that I was never going to take
Believe the lies it’s easier that way
A handshake and one month’s severance pay
I have a friend called Angus he’s the best there’s ever been
Proficient on the double bass and arts/philosophy
He tells me what my chords are called, and when I’m out of key
I love him like a brother and I hope that he loves me
Either way
Either way
I’d take a bullet for him with a smile on my face
A comrade I can trust to set the pace
Makes me feel like everything’s ok.
A government for the people is what they sell you when you’re young
But they forget the part where millionaires and miners come along
And try to sell us all the fucking rug we’re standing on
Whilst telling you which kind of love is right and which is wrong
Seems insane
When the future’s facing backwards better turn the other way
And I suggest a subtle change of name / From government
To GOD DAMN WASTE OF SPACE
