about

A brief survey of the madness of our time

lyrics

Here I am in the great scheme of things
Listening to lies from latter day kings
And taking notes on a number of things
That make no sense to me

Got up this morning went walking around
Trying to collect some facts on the ground
But everyone sane long ago since left town
'Cause it's all so crazy now

And all God's children going rat-a-tat-tat
The ghosts of the martyrs flying thicker than gnats
Those virgins in heaven must like it like that
But it's all so crazy now

Ages come, the ages they go
The one we're in now looks like it might blow
The powers that be saying bring on the show
It makes no sense to me

Frankie he'd say let's fly to the moon
We'll dish out the karma with a big silver spoon
Those were the days but they ended so so
And it's all so crazy now
