It's an overdose for most a shot in the brain

Blows your mind like the winds of a hurricane

Put you hands to your head to stop the pain

And hear a scream louder than a freight train

Street sounds merry-go-rounds

So up-tight while your mind is windin' down

Toss and turn on aa sea of tranquility

Crimes of insanity-how many guilty?

I can see their blank and dull faces

Another episode of how the human race is

Sick to death have we lost our senses?

I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this



They gave you the shaft and you know where they stuck it

It's pay back man your head's in a bucket

Pull it out look about what am I sayin'?

This a pleaa this is no bargain

Junkies for TV live in soap opera sitcoms

They're cop-outs for dropouts and no minded morons

See it you can be it and so it goes on and on

Livin' the good life singin' a swan song

Hear the news blues pick and choose

Try and understand you get more confused

Pull the plug it's too much information

24 hours 5 million stations

Check it out we've got to change this reel

The more we see the less we feel

Compassionate passion it's so easy to fake it

I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it



Payin' dues sellin' shoes

Always complainin' and prayin' and sayin', "So what's the use?"

It's a zoo the animals are me and you

Turnin' tricks jumpin' through a point of view

Like change so fantastic

More street homes for more and more spastics

Outside it's a turning tide

And so you learn there's no where no way to turn

Back from behind the window

Get a dose takin' in the freak show

Find the ugly truth that is wisdom

A home is a castle a castle can be your prison

Anger is your reaction

You can use it to take action

No time you whine your line is so basic

I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it
