Letter to a Mad Woman

One, a-two

One, two, three

A letter came to him today

Said you really should obey

What an utter outrage

Someone could think that way

She said, "You better start to pray

If all you people wanna get saved

We're perfection, you're a disgrace

Make no mistake"

Now he's just passing the days, oh

Trying not to feel blue

But it's all he can stand

They keep on feeding him the lies, oh

Nothing else he can do

But to hope and to pray for this madness to end

But it won't, so he's back in his gloom

Sir, you mean to imply

What I've said, it's all a lie

Well, can you look me in the eye

And justify?

Well, I think you've all gone mad

There's so much loving to be had

Change your tune and I'll be glad

Tolerance ain't no fad

Now he's just passing the days, oh

Trying not to feel blue

But it's all he can stand

And they keep on feeding him the lies, oh

Nothing else he can do

But to hope and to pray for this nonsense to change

But it won't, saw his face in his room

You offer solution

I'm hearing confusion

You stand there so proud and confident

I'm only one person

It could be so much worse

And you say I must change what I believe

It's true, ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh

They keep on feeding us the lies, oh

Nothing else for us to do

But to hope and to pray for this dust to disappear

So we all see a little more clear
