You Gotta Be Crazy Songtext / Lyric

You gotta be crazy, you gotta be mean

You gotta keep your kids and your car clean

You gotta keep climbing, you gotta keep fit

You gotta keep smiling, you gotta eat shit



You gotta be small to be a big shot

You gotta eat meat to stay at the top

You gotta be trusted, gotta tell lies

You gotta be able to narrow your eyes



You gotta believe they've gotta believe you

You gotta appear easy to see through

Gotta be sure you look good on the TV

Gotta resemble a human being



You gotta keep one eye over your shoulder

Gonna get harder as you get older

Gotta fly south and hide in the sand

Gotta forget that you're gonna get cancer






And when you loose control

You'll reap the harvest you have sown

And as the fear grows

The bad blood slows and turns to stone



And it's too late to loose the weight

You used to need to throw around

So have a good drown

As you go down

Alone

Dragged down by the stone



Gotta be sure, you gotta be quick

Gotta divide the tame from the sick

Gotta keep some of us docile and fit

You gotta keep everyone burying this shit



You gotta get you started early

Processed by the time you're thirty

Work like fuck 'till you're sixty five

And then your time's your own until you die



I gotta admit to a lot of confusion

Pain in the head is the child of collusion

Gotta resist the creeping malaise

You gotta believe in the way you get out of the maze



But you, you just keep on pretending

You can tell a sucker from a friend

But you still raise the knife to

Stranger, lover, friend and foe alike



Who was born in a house full of pain

Who was sent out to play on his own

Who was raised on a diet of shame

Who was trained not to spit in the fan

Who was told what to do by the man

Who was broken by trained personnel

Who was fitted with bridle and bit

Who was given a seat in the stand

Who was forcing his way to the rails

Who was offered a place on the board

Who was only a stranger at home

Who was ground down in the end

Who was found dead on the phone

Who was dragged down by the stone
