About the Artist
Lyrics
Day after day They send my friends away To mansions cold and grey To the far side of town Where the thin men stalk the streets While the sane stay underground Day after day They tell me I can go They tell me I can blow To the far side of town Where it's pointless to be high 'Cause it's such a long way down Day after day They take some brain away Then turn my face around To the far side of town And tell me that it's real Then ask me how I feel Here I stand Foot in hand Talking to my wall I'm not quite right at all Don't set me free I'm as helpless as can be My libido's split on me Gimme some good ol' lobotomy 'Cause I'd rather stay here With all the madmen Than perish with the sad men Roaming free And I'd rather play here With all the madmen For I'm quite content They're all as sane as me Zane, Zane, Zane Ouvre le Chien Zane, Zane, Zane Ouvre le Chien Zane, Zane, Zane Ouvre le Chien Zane, Zane, Zane Ouvre le Chien Zane, Zane, Zane Ouvre le Chien Zane, Zane, Zane Ouvre le Chien Zane, Zane, Zane Ouvre le Chien
