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!
