The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)

(album: Fun Boy Three - 1982)

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
'Cos when the madman flips the switch
The nuclear will go for me

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

I've seen the faces of starvation
But I just cannot see the point
'Cos 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 take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my dignity
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my family
Take away the right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view
Take away my right to choose
