I USED TO BE MAD

I dressed like a scarecrow
I walked like a crab
Back then I was bonkers
Back then I was mad
I was thrown off of buses
And thrown out of bars
I was one big bad bastard
But that's all in the past

I used to be mad

I used to be mad
They put me in a
Mental home away from home
I used to be mad
I am so glad
My brain no longer has a
Mind all of its own

I was a monster
I was a mess
I danced down the High Street
In my mother's dress
I frightened children
And grown-ups as well
I stank to high heaven
And I made their lives hell

I used to be mad

I used to be mad
I was a social leper and a louse
I used to be mad
It must have been so sad
To see me rant and rave
And foaming at the mouth

But every day in every way
I'm getting better getting better
But every day in every way
I'm getting better getting better
But every day in every way
I'm getting better getting better

I used to be mad

I used to be mad
They put me in the
House upon the hill
I used to be mad
But I'm not so bad
Just as long as I keep
On taking my pill
Because me I used
To be mentally ill
