Must Be Mad

Copyright 2009 Cheryl Anderson
From “The Long Countdown”

I’ve seen the golden eye in the pyramid
on Hapsburg churches in Prague, don’t you know
I’ve been to Rosslyn, got drunk with the gypsies
Fell into the Fifthworld in a hole…

I’ve watched them dance, dance in the stardust
but no one’s beamed me up on their ship
I’ve hitchhiked well on the counter culture lovelust
I’ve been through hell but I don’t give a shit

Cause you must be mad if you are well adjusted
if you haven’t laughed at yourself in a while
You must be mad if this world gives you cudos
Soak em up with a pill and head too the bar

I just want a white picket fence
and a man to love me, love me real hard
i just want to taste my religion
on a sunday in the back of your car

I just want to know a little history
That ain’t been helped by your school yard
i just want to feel something hit me
i want to get off this falling star

chorus

lord knows, I believe in somethin’
But what they sell us is the Devil’s own lie
All I know is that all your religions
Come from those who came from the sky

And I will follow the Truth where it leads me
but right now I’m in a bit of a bind
I get the feeling they don’t really like me
i guess that means I’m doing something right…

Chorus
