Thousands of people,
Are claimed to be dead,
Socially, mentally,
In their sane heads.
They were called crazy,
Til' they were set free,
From these confounded confines,
They call mentality.
The people thought,
They had no life,
But they have a family,
They have a wife.
(Chorus)
Men are called crazy,
By men of their own,
They're locked up,
They're dead, they're all alone.
When really they aren't,
Crazy at all,
It's just what they want,
To believe, that's all.
Really they are,
More straight than anyone,
They know they're not crazy,
They know what they've done.
But the world accepts,
The "sane" man's thoughts,
And not the words,
They really ought.
(Chorus)
Men are called crazy,
By men of their own,
They're locked up,
They're dead, they're all alone.
When really they aren't,
Crazy at all,
It's just what they want,
To believe, that's all.
