[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
[05:22.560]Time to let the world know
[05:26.307]Welcome madness, say helloLet's imitate reality—insanity
[05:33.503]Let's strive for mediocrity—insanity
[05:37.194]Let's make believe we're all the same—now, that's the thing
[05:41.030]Let's sanitize our little brains—insanity
[05:44.826]I'd love to take you home with me; I'd love to tuck you in
[05:48.522]I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin
[05:52.274]I'd love to hear you scream tonight; I'd love to hear you cry
[05:55.902]Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky
[06:44.612]Let's imitate reality—insanity
[06:48.041]Let's strive for mediocrity—insanity
[06:51.954]Let's make believe we're all the same—now, that's the thing

[06:59.307]I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
[07:03.108]I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
[07:06.815]I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box
[07:10.414]On Sundays, I would pray for you so it would never stop
[07:14.352]I'd love to hear you laugh tonight; I'd love to hear you weep
[07:17.834]I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
[07:21.582]I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take you hand in mine
[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!
