There's a man on the tv
And he's trying to sell me toothpaste
While I'm trying to relax
In my own front room
There's and woman and her husband
And they're trying to sell me hair spray
That will really work a wonder
If you're grey to soon
If I turn off the tv it's on the radio
I cover up my ears but the voice won't go
If I crawl up stairs and climb into my bed
Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll think I'm dead
There's something really screwy
And it's hiding out inside of my head
Well you don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad to make a living here
Well you don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
Just that and drinking beer
There's an ad for a car
And it's talking to it's owner
Am I the only one
Who seems to think it's weird
There's a house made of people
And a monkey in a bowler
And guy whose drinking cola in the stratosphere
Why can't I seem to make some sense of it
And where can I buy the pill to make me fit
It doesn't seem to match any world I see
Is everybody crazy or is it just me?
There's something really screwy
And it's hiding out inside of my head
Well you don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad to make a living here
Well you don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
Just that and drinking beer
There's an ocean going liner
And it's sailing through the mountains
And a city and world
Inside a glass of beer
There's a fish on a bike
And a camel in the arctic
And a pretty little girl
Who'll tell you banks are fair
I must be stupid not to understand
Why Daz washes whiter than the other brand
There's a great big gap in reality
The lie and the truth are the same to me
There's something really screwy
And it's hiding out inside of my head
Well you don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad to make a living here
Well you don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
But it sure helps
You don't have to be mad
Just that and drinking beer
