20 January 2017 – The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum by FUN BOY THREE
It’s a black day for all of us, worldwide, who believe and understand that solidarity is the
one & only way to survive decently, in peace and harmony, and are now confronted with an Idiot as President of the USA. The 1981 prophecy of FUN BOY THREE has become sad reality today. Shame, bloody shame! But I’ll keep on listening to great music, it helps…
THE LUNATICS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ASYLUM
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 the list
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
No nuclear the cowboy told us
And who am I to disagree
’cause 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 can not see the points
’cause 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
