[00:43.662] I'm so sorry; please, forgive me
[00:47.110] Who do I pray to straighten out this problem?
[00:50.811] Straighten out this problem; straighten out my mind
[00:54.469] Straighten out this crooked tongue....
[00:58.176] My mind has wandered from the straight and narrow
[01:01.861] My mind has wandered from the flock, you see
[01:05.505] My mind has wandered; the man just said so
[01:09.198] My mind has wandered; I heard it on TV
[01:12.488] And the flock has wandered away from me
[01:16.871] All around the world, now
[01:20.549] Like a big, bright cherry cloud
[01:24.226] Traveling from home to home
[01:27.851] TV sets and telephones
[01:31.729] Here it comes, just like a storm
[01:35.410] Bathe in it and be reborn
[01:39.190] Time to let the world know
[01:42.951] Welcome madness, say hello....
[01:50.382] Like a wave we cannot see
[01:54.042] Washing over you and me
[01:57.737] Hiding here and hiding there
[02:01.508] Madness hiding everywhere
[02:05.207] Such a curiosity
[02:08.943] Here it comes to set us free
[02:12.648] Plenty left for you and me
[02:16.364] Say hello, insanity
[02:20.236] I am the virus; are you the cure?
[02:23.851] I am morally— I'm morally impure
[02:27.491] I am a disease and I am unclean
[02:31.206] I am not part of God's well-oiled machine
[02:35.048] Christian nation, assimilate me
[02:38.692] Take me in your arms and set me free
[02:42.361] I am part of a degenerate elite
[02:46.250] Dragging our society into the street
[02:49.892] Into the abyss and to the sewer, don't you see?
[02:53.507] The man just told me, he told me on TV
[02:57.430] Do you think you're better than me?
[03:01.216] Do you want to kill me or befriend me?
[03:04.835] And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me
[03:08.346] His voice was filled with evangelical glee
[03:12.195] Sipping down his gin and tonics
[03:15.870] While preaching about the evils of narcotics
[03:19.581] And the evils of sex and the wages of sin
[03:23.171] While he mentally fondles his next of kin
[03:26.631] My mind has wandered from the flock, you see
[03:30.520] And the flock has wandered away from me
[03:34.189] And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me!
[03:38.351] Let's imitate reality—insanity
[03:41.823] Let's strive for mediocrity—insanity
[03:45.588] Let's make believe we're all the same—now, that's the thing
[03:49.378] Let's sanitize our little brains—insanityI'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
[03:56.834] I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
[04:00.698] I'd love to hear you laugh tonight; I'd love to hear you weep
[04:04.387] I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
[04:08.474] Christian sons, Christian daughters
[04:11.925] Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
[04:15.651] Purify my brain and hose down my soul
[04:19.307] White perfection; perfection is my goal
[04:23.018] Do you think you're better than me?
[04:26.771] Do you want to kill me or befriend me?
[04:30.478] Christian nation, make us all right
[04:34.187] Put us through the filter, and make us pure and white
[04:37.604] My mind has wandered from the flock, you see
[04:41.466] And the flock has wandered away from me
[04:45.160] Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
[04:49.036] Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
[04:52.482] The white folks think they're at the top; ask any proud white male
[04:56.421] A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle
[05:00.293] All around the world, now
[05:03.961] Like a big, bright cherry cloud
[05:07.635] Traveling from home to home
[05:11.391] TV sets and telephones
[05:15.141] Here it comes, just like a storm
[05:18.851] Bathe in it and be reborn

[07:25.257] I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
[07:29.030] I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
[07:32.623] To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart
[07:36.548] I'd love to take you satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
[07:40.481] I'd love to mess your pretty hair; I'd love to see you dead!
[00:43.662] I' m so sorry please, forgive me
