Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open door to madness
[Verse 2]
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're borin', baby, when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid, baby, when you're sane
[Verse 3]
I'm sick of social graces
Show your sharp-tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Dig that illegal me
[Verse 4]
'Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice cream
You got the same needs as a dog
[Verse 5]
It's alright (It's alright)
To be mean (To be mean)
It's alright (It's alright)
To be mean (To be mean)
[Verse 6]
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're borin', baby, when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid, baby, when you're sane
[Verse 7]
It's alright (It's alright)
To be mean (To be mean)
It's alright (It's alright)
To be mean (To be mean)
It's alright (It's alright)
To be mean (To be mean)
It's alright (It's alright)
To be mean (To be mean)
[Verse 8]
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're borin', baby, when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid, baby, when you're sane
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're borin', baby, when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid, baby, when you're sane
