The inmates are running the asylum they're out on the streets And now we can't find them, even though we try to hide them And throw away the keys, some of those cookoos are just like me The inmates are running the asylum they're out on the streets And now we can't find them, even though we try to hide them And throw away the keys, some of those cookoos are just like me I think this blanket is forcefield in the hall of the justice To shield me from the truth, now I'm scared for these youngsters Growin' up with all this bad news at there fingertips When I was young I didn't know shit, I didn't give a shit But now its war, mysterious disease, crashing economy Buildings falling down in my city, It's right in front of me I can't get a job without my name on my shirt Tried to sell dope, pay rent but it just don't work Houston this is Toothpick we have problem Hate washed away the love in the streets of Gotham I'm with Peter Parker, Clark Kent, and Bruce Wayne We in the Bat Plane on the way to take away the pain I say why cry you were born to fly Time stands still while we roll by As for you true what do we do Ill be in Metropolis singing midnight blues My generation is gonna grow up to be president When wrecked executives become rest home residents The world is upside down, at least for now I've been standing on my head ever since I found out So get a good look at your friends, look at your neighbor Solicit documentation of erratic behavior But who decides who's legit and who's crazy Are you incapacitated by drugs or just lazy And maybe that man just really fell from the sky When you tried to tell your parents and they said that you lied Now time goes by and life stands still And the question is what's in your head and what's real I say why cry you were born to fly Time stands still while we roll by As for you true what do we do Ill be in Metropolis singing midnight blues I say why cry you were born to fly Time stands still while we roll by As for you true what do we do Ill be on Capitol Hill singing midnight blues Doctor, they're escaping, the authorities have all be sedated Come on, were on a world tour, hittin' the streets ready to rock Its Toothpick, Captain Kirk, and Dr Spoc Fuck we ride, were in an enterprise I got shotty Go say goodbyes, another vice, Don't beat me up Scotty Home to streets, strapped to a foton phaser particle decelerator Check your pump gas later Now the space invader try to stamp out the cash crop Made friends with the aliens and got em to stop clocks They took me for a ride in the spaceship damn I gotta get back to earth so I can do my thing I say why cry you were born to fly Time stands still while we roll by As for you true what do we do Ill be on Capitol Hill singing midnight blues I say why cry you were born to fly Time stands still while we roll by As for you true what do we do Ill be in the Milky Way singing midnight blues The inmates are running the asylum they're out on the streets And now we can't find them, even though we try to hide them And throw away the keys, some of those cookoos are just like meThe inmates are running the asylum they're out on the streets And now we can't find them, even though we try to hide them And throw away the keys, some of those cookoos are just like me |
