Lyrics:

See the young man standing on the corner
With a smile on his face
Not going anywhere, not hurting anybody
Not in love with anyone
You say he's not all there
That's just your misguided vanity
All these people are living in a world
A lonely world we call insanity

See the dog chasing the tin can
Wrapped around his tail
See the man in jail
You say they're wrong but you don't know
That I stand elected which may have lived too long
All this deep calm in his eye
You wouldn't believe that he had set
Seventeen fires in one day would you?
'How could you?' you'd say to him

Watch insanity sound the chimes
Flick the dimes
Giving equal time to insanity

Walk down and see a bunch of kids
Hanging round a parking lot carrying signs
And all of a sudden the police cars off coughing in one spot
A society's gotta snap some fingers doin' a dude with a lantern

The lantern turns out to be a parking meter
And the whole thing turns out to be world war three in cine scope on TV
And the eyes of the popular turns on you saying
'Look at me'
That's insanity
That's insanity
