Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Earth's a padded cell, defanged and declawed
I'm living in hell, it's a paradise fraud
Straight jacket minds in line to be old
Telling me I'm responsible to clean my teeth
Well I'm no fool, I'm going to town
Manic reactions are always a buzz
I'm suspect, stranger in disguise
It's forced itself upon me, something I can't hide
[Verse 2]
See it in
Maniacs
Their eyes
Maniacs
Maniacs
Maniacs
[Verse 3]
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 feed off your head
Looking at you, I'm inside of you
It's Walden Two but the flower's dead
[Verse 4]
See it in
Maniacs
Their eyes
Maniacs
Maniacs
Maniacs
[Verse 5]
Earth's a padded cell, defanged and declawed
I'm living in hell, it's a paradise fraud
Straight jacket minds in line to be old
Telling me I'm responsible to clean my teeth
Well I'm no fool, I'm going to town
Manic reactions are always a buzz
I'm suspect, the stranger in disguise
It's forced itself upon me, something I can't hide
[Verse 6]
See it in
Maniacs
Their eyes
Maniacs
Maniacs
Maniacs
