[Verse 1]
I see a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrists
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on their list

[Chorus]
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum

[Verse 2]
Go nuclear, the cowboy told us (Ah-oom)
And who am I to disagree? (Ah-oom)
'Cause when the madman flips the switch (Ah-oom)
The nuclear will go for me

[Chorus]
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum

[Verse 3]
I see the faces of starvation (Ah-oom)
But I just cannot see the point (Ah-oom)
'Cause there's so much food here today (Ah-oom)
That no one wants to take away
[Chorus]
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
