Mad Within Reason
Chew on your pencil
You turn out the lights
You sat in the kitchen
One of those nights
The prisoners were dressed
Like ladies of old
While the juiciest tidbits
Will never be told
The cannibal yachts and electrified fence
Whatever the fuzz wants
Shoot dead or repent
It's mad, mad, mad
Yes, it's mad, mad, mad
Well, it's mad, mad, mad
Within reason
They slaughtered the mascot
They dressed for the feast
As they all sat in line
From the worst to the least
The music was simple
Went back to James Brown
They saw a mistress
They lowered her down
The gorgeous-est costume
Was hung at half-mast
As we all had a drink to his glorious past
It's mad, mad, mad
Yes, it's mad, mad, mad
Well, it's mad, mad, mad
Within reason
Wow, it's mad, mad, mad
Yes, it's mad, mad, mad
Well, it's mad, mad, mad
Within reason
Sin use and cop blues
Was clung to our lips
And crosses and pistols
Swung at our hips
I cried for my supper
I spat on a plate
While everyone tried to
Become what they hate
The interesting captain
A smile on his face
So proud of the changes
That he made to this place
So mad, mad, mad
Yes, it's mad, mad, mad
Well, it's mad, mad, mad
Within reason
Yes, it's mad, mad, mad
Yes, it's mad, mad, mad
Well, it's mad, mad, mad
Within reason
It's mad to me
Oh, so mad to me
I feel mad, I feel mad within a reason
I feels mad, I feels mad within a reason
Ooh, yeah
Hmm
You turn out the lights
You sat in the kitchen
One of those nights
The prisoners were dressed
Like ladies of old
While the juiciest tidbits
Will never be told

Whatever the fuzz wants
Shoot dead or repent
It's mad, mad, mad
Yes, it's mad, mad, mad
Well, it's mad, mad, mad
Within reason

They dressed for the feast
As they all sat in line

Yes, it's mad, mad, mad
Well, it's mad, mad, mad
Within reason
It's mad to me
Oh, so mad to me
I feel mad, I feel mad within a reason
I feels mad, I feels mad within a reason
Ooh, yeah
Hmm
