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 flips the switch
The nuclear will go for me

The lunatics have taken over the asylum (c'mon, c'mon)
The lunatics have taken over the asylum (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

Take away my right to choose (take away)
Take away my point of view (take away)
Take away my dignity
Take these things away from me (take away)
Take away my family (take away)
Take away the right to speak (take away)
Take, just take (take away)
That's all you ever do

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