What part of insanity, <br />Has your endorsement and support? <br />Forget about all of that, <br />Common sense with sanity talk. <br /> <br />That has long been aborted. <br />And away from reality, <br />People have walked! <br />Or screamed their way... <br />Into a rehabilitation cage. <br />To be monitored with instructions... <br />For a possibility of returning back, <br />To take their place... <br />In a society completely and totally crazed. <br /> <br />What part of insanity, <br />Has your endorsement and support? <br />You must choose a side very soon, <br />Before you've been labelled... <br />A maverick misfit! <br />Or someone with an attitude... <br />That expresses one to be a bad sport! <br /> <br />People have walked! <br />Or screamed their way... <br />Into a rehabilitation cage. <br />To be monitored with instructions... <br />For a possibility of returning back, <br />To take their place... <br />In a society completely and totally crazed. <br /> <br />Hurry up! <br />The 'authorities' head this way! <br />What part of insanity, <br />Has your endorsement and support? <br /> <br />If you decide right now, <br />To be one out of your mind... <br />They may leave you alone. <br />But I recommend don't hesitate. <br />Since independent thinkers... <br />Are quick for them to find! <br /> <br />'What are 'you' going to do? ' <br /> <br />Me? <br />I'm prepared to tap dance. <br />And sing, 'Ol' Man Ribber'. <br /> <br />'You mean 'river'! ' <br /> <br />No! <br />It's 'Ribber'. <br />Trust me. <br />Here they come! <br />Start shuffling. <br />And... <br />It's 'Yus Sah'! <br />You got that?<br /><br />Lawrence S.
