Mama they must be crazy

cause i can't make heads or tales

Or someone must have lied

In your fairy tales



cause i tried to walk that straight line

Sweat clean to pay my bills

While every lazy, ass kissing, son of a bitch

Gets paid to say he will



Mama don't you know by now

They'll never get to me

But i'm still waiting for the truth

To set me free



Mama they must be crazy

The way they use they're stepping-stones

It's carve em up and throw em out

And disregard the bones



You try to keep your senses

You try to keep your head

While some anointed yes man

Parlays your soul to death



Mama don't you know by now



They'll never get to me

But i'm still waiting for the truth

To set me free

Mama they must be crazy



Mama they must be crazy

cause they weren't playing fair

son, shut the door behind you

And have a seat right over there



Mama don't you know by now

They'll never get to me

But i was hoping that the truth

Would set me free



Mama they must be crazy
