Todd Rundgren - Temporary Sanity lyrics



I had such great expectations

Of the worlds benevolence

Of benevolence

But I prefer hallucinations

cause they tend to make more sense

Than experience

cause it was just another sneak attack

Of temporary sanity

It was a pleasant stay, but now Im back

From temporary sanity

My temporary sanity

I began to grow dependent

On a thing called "common sense"

It was common sense

But my world grew so resplendent

That the strain was too intense

Without self-defense

cause it was just another sneak attack

Of temporary sanity

It was a pleasant stay, but now Im back

From temporary sanity

My temporary sanity

The pool spreads across the pavement

Where the sniper made him lie

And he looks just like my youngest

And Im watching him die

I must remind myself Ive seen this

Its all ancient history

One long trail of twisted bodies

As the strong crush the weak

We must be crazy

We are crazy

This is our natural state

As our children die around us

We just sit here and wait

For a little temporary sanity

Some temporary sanity

Theres a chance that we would still get the picture

If reality just came up and bit ya

But the news team would never report it

Because theres too much evidence to support it

If we were stupider, the problem would vanish

But our brains are much more than we can manage

We say we want something so bad we can taste it

But once we get it, then we turn round and waste it

We got a twisted fixation with marketplace

And every suffering soul is just another face

We think were being manipulated from outer space

Its the collective guilty conscience of the human race

We get joyful when we look upon a lesser man

A specimen that we can be sure that we are better than

There is no shortage of supply of pride and vanity

There is no other explanation but insanity

Youre listening to prozac

While the message goes unheard

Its the final word

We must be crazy

We must be crazy

Theres no explanation

So we must be crazy
