Grow my hair and leave my job
Then show up saying ‘thud’
We’ll show the world your power’s absurd
The system is a dud

Act normal as can be
Keep notes and try to breathe
We’ll hold onto our stories
while you’re jangling the keys

Your motives might be good
Trying to help as best you could
But connecting is too threatening
So we can’t be understood

The damage done is real
But act out how we feel
You’ll say it’s still because we’re ill
Your power’s being repealed

Are you infallible?
Or just gullible?
We’re waiting here to find you out
The people here with me
Would gladly set me free
But you’re the ones with all the clout

Being sane in insane places
Take that look off your faces
Too long here and I’ll start to
Feel the panic
Feel the panic

Being sane in insane places
Wipe that smirk off your faces
Much longer now and I will
Feel the panic
Feel the panic

You said you’d been caught out
Send more, we’ll weed them out
We’re people who’ve just had it tough
And filled your minds with doubt

Real sadness is a curse
But you can make it worse
If you delight in being right,
No, listening comes first

So if you know it all
You’re heading for a fall
We cannot wait to see you go
The tables turning yeah
Does it get us anywhere
To kick you and enjoy the blow?

Being sane in insane places
Take that look off your faces
Too long here and I’ll start to
Feel the panic
Feel the panic

Being sane in insane places
Wipe that smirk off your faces
Much longer now and I will
Feel the panic
Feel the panic
