I 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 their list

The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum

Go nuclear the cowboy told us
And who am I to disagree
'Cause when the madman flicks a switch
The nuclear will go for me

The lunatics have taken over the asylum

I see 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 
The lunatics have taken over the asylum 
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum 
The lunatics have taken over the asylum 
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
