Lyrics
… See a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrist
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on the list
… The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
… No nuclear the cowboy told us
And who am I to disagree
'Cause when the madman flips the switch
The nuclear will go for me
… The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
… I've seen the faces of starvation
But I just can not see the points
'Cause there's so much food here today
That no one wants to take away
… The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my dignity
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my family
Take away the right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view
Take away my right to choose
