Lyrics

I'm so sorry, please forgive me
 Who do I pray to to straighten out this problem?
 Straighten out this problem, straighten out my mind
 Straighten out this crooked tongue, this crooked tongue, this crooked tonuge
 My mind has wandered, from the straight and narrow
 My mind has wandered from the flock you see
 My mind has wandered, the man just said so
 My mind has wandered I heard it on TV
 And the flock has wandered away from me, now
 All around the world now
 Like a big bright cherry cloud
 Traveling from home to home
 TV sets and telephones
 Here it comes just like a storm
 Bathe in it and be reborn
 Time to let the world know
 Welcome madness, say hello, say hello, say hello
 Like a wave we cannot see
 Washing over you and me
 Hiding here and hiding there
 Madness hiding everywhere
 Such a curiosity
 Here it comes to set us free
 Plenty left for you and me
 Say hello insanity
 I am the virus, are you the cure?
 I am morally, I'm morally impure
 I am a disease and I am unclean
 I am not part of God's well oiled machine
 Christian nation, assimilate me
 Take me in your arms and set me free
 I am part of a degenerate elite
 Dragging our society into the street, yeah
 Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
 The man just told me, he told me on TV
 Do you think you're better than me?
 Do you want to kill me or befriend me?
 And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me
 And His voice was filled with evangelical glee
 Sipping down his gin & tonics
 While preaching about the evils of narcotics
 And the evils of sex and the wages of sin
 While he mentally fondles his next of kin and
 My mind has wandered from the flock you see
 And the flock has wandered away from me
 And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me
 Let's imitate reality (Insanity)
 Let's strive for mediocrity (Insanity)
 Let's make believe we're all the same (Now that's for me)
 Let's sanitize our little brains (Insanity)
 I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
 I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
 I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
 I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
 Christian sons, Christian daughters
 Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
 Purify my brain and hose down my soul
 White perfection, perfection is my goal
 Do you think you're better than me
 Do you want to kill me, or befriend me
 Christian nation, make us alright
 Put us through the filter and make us pure and white 'cause
 My mind has wandered away from me
 And the flock has wandered, away from me
 Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
 Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
 The white folks think they're at the top, ask any proud white male
 A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle!
 All around the world now
 Like a big bright cherry cloud
 Traveling from home to home
 TV sets and telephones
 Here it comes just like a storm
 Bathe in it and be reborn
 Time to let the world know
 Welcome madness, say hello
 Let's imitate reality (Insanity)
 Let's strive for mediocrity (Insanity)
 Let's make believe we're all the same (Now that's for me)
 Let's sanitize our little brains (Insanity)
 I'd love to take you home with me, I'd love to tuck you in
 I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin
 I'd love to hear you scream tonight, I'd love to hear you cry
 Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky
 Let's imitate reality (Insanity)
 Let's strive for mediocrity (Insanity)
 Let's make believe we're all the same (Now that's for me)
 Let's sanitize our little brains (Insanity)
 I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
 I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
 I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box
 On Sundays I would pray for you so it would never stop
 I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
 I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
 I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take your hand in mine
 I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
 I'd love to see inside your mind and tear it all apart
 To cut you open with knife and find your sacred heart
 I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
 I'd love to mess your pretty hair, I'd love to see you dead
