Padded Cell

Earth's a padded cell, defanged and declawed I'm living in hell, it's a paradise fraud Straightjacket minds in line to be old Telling me how time slips through my teeth Well I'm no fool, I'm going to town Manic reactions are always a buzz Suspect, stranger in disguise It's forced itself upon me, something I can't hide See it in, maniacs! Their eyes, maniacs! Maniacs, maniacs! Looking at you, inside of you Through your eyes, behind your mind Looking at you, inside of you I'm invisible, nowhere to hide I'm obscene, the living dead See the flies in your head Looking at you, I'm inside you It's Walden too but the flower's dead See it in, maniacs! Their eyes, maniacs! Maniacs, maniacs! Earth's a padded cell, defanged and declawed I'm living in hell, it's a paradise fraud Straightjacket minds in line to be old Telling me how time slips through my teeth I'm no fool, I'm going to town Manic reactions are always a buzz Suspect, the stranger in disguise Forced itself upon me something I can't hide See it in, maniacs! Their eyes, maniacs! Maniacs, maniacs! --- Padded Cell - Black Flag
