Mad Within Reason

Chew on your pencil, you turn out the lights

You sat in the kitchen one of those nights

The prisoners were dressed like ladies of old

While the juiciest tid-bits will never be told

The cannibal yachts and electrified fence

Whatever the fuzz wants: shoot, dead, or repent

It's mad, mad, mad

Yes, It's mad, mad, mad

Well, it's mad, mad, mad

Within reason

They slaughtered the mascot, they dressed for the feast

As they all sat in line from the worst to the least

The music was sampled from the back to James Brown

There sat the mistress, they lowered her down

The court jester's costume was hung at half mast

As we all had a drink to his glorious past

Well, it's mad, mad, mad

Yes, it's mad, mad, mad

Well, it's mad, mad, mad

Within reason

Well, it's mad, mad, mad

Yes, it's mad, mad, mad

Well, it's mad, mad, mad

Within reason

Sin use and cop blues was clung to our lips

Crosses and pistols swung at our hips

I cried for my supper, I spat on a plate

While everyone tried to become what they hate

The industry captain, a smile on his face

So proud of his changes that he made to his place

Mad, mad, mad

Yes, it's mad, mad, mad

Well, it's mad, mad, mad

Within reason

Yes, it's mad, mad, mad

Yes, it's mad, mad, mad

Well, it's mad, mad, mad

Within reason

It's mad to me

Oh, too mad, too mean

I feel mad, I feel mad within a-reason

It's mad, it's mad
