Could it be something in the water,
maybe something in the air?
I don’t know exactly what is the matter,
but there’s a whole lot of “crazy” out there.
There’s lunatics on the loose,
and it seems like they’re everywhere.
Maybe some more looney bins we should introduce.
It seems complete insanity,
to just let them out there roaming free.
Coming in all shapes and sizes,
with all kinds of problems their therapist analyzes.
They say they’re as sane as you or me,
then why are they still in therapy?
They’re going all around talking crazy talk everywhere,
it’s starting to get on my nerves, I’m starting to feel a little fear.
I know that they say they have a vision that they want to share,
I just want them to get out of my life, because I don’t care.
I just wanted to warn you, there’s lunatics on the loose, so beware.
Call them what you will, lunatics, looney tunes, nutjobs, or some other crazy name,
they’ve all got mental problems and they can be dangerous all the same.
It seems they’re multiplying at an alarming rate,
they’re infecting the population with this insanity and it’s not going to turn out great.
They want you to buy into their version of Utopia and how wonderful it will be,
if you look at it closely it won’t be any Shangri-la for you and me.
The worse of all is where you’ll find a large number of them to be,
a lot of the lunatics on the loose are in the capitol, Washington, D.C.
