Lyrics

Go Mental

[Chorus]

I've gone mental

I've gone mental

[Verse]

Out of the hospital

Out against my will

Life is so beautiful

I've gone mental

Mental mental

[Verse]

I've killed my family

They thought I was an oddity

Life is so beautiful

I am a vegetable

Mental mental

[Chorus]

I've gone mental

I've gone mental

Staring at my goldfish bowl

Popping phenobarbital

Life is so beautiful

I've gone mental

Mental mental

[Verse]

Sitting on my window sill

Life is so beautiful

I've become irrational

I've gone mental

Mental mental

[Chorus]

I've gone mental

I've gone mental

I've gone mental

I've gone mental
