Lyrics

TWISTED<br />
<br />
Skyrocketing gas prices,<br />
Another Mideast crisis.<br />
Life is full of surprises -<br />
Self-destructive devices<br />
<br />
Racial hatred without end;<br />
Bigots up around the bend.<br />
Every word&rsquo;s meant to offend.<br />
They get back just what they send.<br />
<br />
Someone turned the screws too tight;<br />
Since then, she hasn&rsquo;t been right.<br />
Can&rsquo;t shake free of this stage fright;<br />
Can&rsquo;t escape the coming night.<br />
<br />
Seems all she does is complain<br />
About her bleak world of pain.<br />
Too emotionally drained<br />
To step out and go insane.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not crazy!&rdquo; she insisted.<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not crazy! I&rsquo;m just twisted.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Nuclear time bomb&rsquo;s ticking;<br />
Hate-filled world ripe for picking.<br />
Cheap patches aren&rsquo;t sticking;<br />
Patients screaming and kicking.<br />
<br />
We&rsquo;ve come far from the Garden;<br />
Let our hearts and minds harden.<br />
No amnesty, no pardon -<br />
We&rsquo;re too far from the Garden.<br />
<br />
Someone turned the screws too tight;<br />
Since then, he hasn&rsquo;t been right.<br />
Can&rsquo;t shake free of this stage fright;<br />
Can&rsquo;t escape the coming night.<br />
<br />
Seems all he does is complain<br />
About his bleak world of pain.<br />
Too emotionally drained<br />
To step out and go insane.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not crazy!&rdquo; he insisted.<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not crazy! I&rsquo;m just twisted.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Satan winks and we shiver;<br />
Black arrows in his quiver.<br />
He shouts, &ldquo;Stand and deliver!&rdquo;<br />
Dark taker, not a giver.<br />
<br />
Where did we make that wrong turn?<br />
Who let Heaven&rsquo;s road map burn?<br />
Is there time for us to learn<br />
Our Father&rsquo;s perfect pattern?<br />
<br />
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not crazy!&rdquo; we insisted.<br />
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not crazy! We&rsquo;re just twisted.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Someone turned the screws too tight<br />
Since then, we haven&rsquo;t been right<br />
Can&rsquo;t shake free of this stage fright<br />
Can&rsquo;t escape the coming night.<br />
<br />
Seems all we do is complain<br />
About our bleak world of pain.<br />
Too emotionally drained<br />
To step out and go insane.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not crazy!&rdquo; we insisted.<br />
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re not crazy! We&rsquo;re just twisted.&rdquo;<br />
