Plead Insanity Song Lyrics
The emperor is naked but he swears he wears the clothes
And he's making the big decisions, catching the tigers by the toes
Check out the Chicken Little Jimmy screaming skies are falling down
And where the sound of synergy stops you know nobody knows
And collectively our minds are getting lost
And I know that being crazy gets you off
So, Your Honor, I'm just part of humanity
So then I guess I get to plead insanity
Shark come from the sky and look me in my eye
He said, "Don't be afraid, it's time to testify."
They're making me alright so I don't get left behind
I just think of the almighty and he will give me peace of mind.
[funky scat break]
The emperor is naked but he swears he wears the clothes
And he's making the big decisions, catching the tigers by the toes
And if we're all just gonna drown here in our vanity
Then I guess I'm gonna plead insanity
Shark come from the sky and look me in my eye
He said, "Don't be afraid, it's time to testify."
They're making me alright so I don't get left behind
I just think of the almighty and he will give me peace of mind.
Plead insanity
I'm gonna plead insanity
Sometimes I get so frantic, sometimes I'm schizophrenic
Sometimes I get so frantic, sometimes I'm schizophrenic
Sometimes I get so frantic, sometimes I'm schizophrenic
How do you sing along with a song that's so manic?
Just today I was late for my date at the pearly gates
Because I just couldn't find transportation
I crammed before the final, I took a look at the Good Book
But I'm afraid I got lost in translation
I said, "God, you've got to be kidding me didn't you see
All of us down here drowning in our vanity?
The heroes have all been shot and the monkeys are taking over
So I guess we get to plead insanity."
I guess we get to plead insanity (x8)
(Are you programmed to speak?)
(Are you programmed)
(Are you programmed)
(Are you programmed to speak?)
(Nah, I guess not. No, I guess that'd make you a little bit too real, wouldn't it?)
(They found me guilty of saying nothing
I found them guilty of spiritual lies)
I've not found these lyrics anywhere else and I'm still unsure of a couple of the lines, so if you have any corrections or objections to my interpretation, please let me know. Thanks!
