Twisted Lyrics - Lex Zaleta

Skyrocketing gas prices, 

Another Mideast crisis. 

Life is full of surprises - 

Self-destructive devices 

Racial hatred without end; 

Bigots up around the bend. 

Every word's meant to offend. 

They get back just what they send. 

"We're not crazy!" we insisted. 

"We're not crazy! We're just twisted." 

Someone turned the screws too tight; 

Since then, she hasn't been right. 

Can't shake free of this stage fright; 

Can't escape the coming night. 

Seems all she does is complain 

About her bleak world of pain. 

Too emotionally drained 

To step outside and go insane. 

"I'm not crazy!" she insisted. 

"I'm not crazy! I'm just twisted." 

Nuclear time bomb's ticking; 

Hate-filled world ripe for picking. 

Cheap patches aren't sticking; 

Patients screaming and kicking. 

We've come so far from the Garden; 

Let our hearts and minds harden. 

No amnesty, no pardon - 

We're too far from the Garden. 

"We're not crazy!" we insisted. 

"We're not crazy! We're just twisted." 

Someone turned the screws too tight; 

Since then, he hasn't been right. 

Can't shake free of this stage fright; 

Can't escape the coming night. 

Seems all he does is complain 

About his bleak world of pain. 

Too emotionally drained 

To step outside and go insane. 

"I'm not crazy!" he insisted. 

"I'm not crazy! I'm just twisted." 

Satan winks and we shiver; 

Black arrows in his quiver. 

He shouts, "Stand and deliver!" 

Dark taker, not a giver. 

Where did we make that wrong turn? 

Who let Heaven's road map burn? 

Is there time for us to learn 

Our Father's perfect pattern? 

"We're not crazy!" we insisted. 

"We're not crazy! We're just twisted." 

Someone turned the screws too tight 

Since then, we haven't been right 

Can't shake free of this stage fright 

Can't escape the coming night. 

Seems all we do is complain 

About our bleak world of pain. 

Too emotionally drained 

To step outside and go insane. 

"We're not crazy!" we insisted. 

"We're not crazy! We're just twisted."
