[Intro 1]
[D][G][C][G][D][C][D][G][C]
[G][C][D][C][D][C][D][C]
[G][C]
[D][C][G][C][D]
[C]I had such

[Verse 1]
great expectations
[Gm]Of the world's benevolence
Of [C]benevolence
[D]But [Gm]I pr[Bb]efer[Gm][C]
hallucinations
'cause [Gm]they tend to make
more sense
[C]Than exper[Am] i e[C]nce
[D][Gm][C][Gm]

[Verse 2]
[C]'cause it was just an
[Bb]other [Am]sneak attack
Of tem[F]porary [G]san[Am]ity
It was a [Bb]pleasant stay, but [Am]now I'm back
From tem[F]por[C]ary [Em]san i[F]ty
My [G]tem[F]porary [C]san[G] it[C]y
[D][C][G][C][D]

[Verse 3]
[C]I began
to grow dependent
[Gm]On a thing called "common sense"
It was [C]common [Gm]sense
[C][Gm][C][Gm][D][G]
[C]But my world grew so
resplendent
[Gm]That the strain [C]was too [Gm]intense[C][Gm]
[D]Without [C]self- de[D]fense[Gm][C][Gm]

[Verse 4]
[Bb]'cau[Gm]se it[C] was just
[Bb]another [Am]sneak attack
Of temporary [G]san[Am]ity
It was a [C]pleas[Bb]ant stay,
but [Am]now I'm back
From [Em]tem p[F]orary [Em]san i[Am]ty
My tem[F]por[Am]ary sanity

[Verse 5]
The pool spreads across [Am]the pavement
[C]Whe[F]re the sniper made h[C]im lie[G][C]
[Am]And he looks just like my youngest
And [F]I'm watching [G]him [F]die
[Am]I must remind myself I've seen this
It's [F]all ancient his[C]tory[F]
One [Am]long trail of twisted bodies
As the [F]strong crush the weak
We must be [Am]crazy
We are crazy
This is [F]our natural [G]state[F]
As our [Am]children die around us
[C]We [F]just sit here and wait
For a little temporary [Em]san i[C]ty
[F]Som[C]e tem[Em] por[F]ary sanity

[Gm]

[Verse 6]
There's a [D]chance that we
would still get the pic[C]ture
[D]If reality just came up and [C]bit ya
But the [D]news team would never
re[C]port it
Because there's [D]too
much evidence to support [C]it
If we were [D]stupider,
the problem would van[C]ish
[G]But our [D]brains are much
more than we can [C]manage
[G]We say we [D]want something
so bad [C]we can taste it
But once we [D]get it, then
we turn 'round and waste [C]it
We got a [D]twisted fixation with [C]marketplace
And every [D]suffering soul is just
[C]an other face
We think we're [D]being manipulated
from [C]outer space
It's the col[D]lective guilty
conscience of the [C]human race
We get joy[D]ful when we look
upon a [C]lesser man
A specimen [D]that we can be sure that
we are [C]better than
There is no [D]shortage of supply
of pride and [C]vanity
There is [D]no other explanation
[C]but insan[D]ity
[C]You're listening

[Verse 7]
[D]to [Gm]prozac
While the message goes unheard
It's [D]the final [C]word
[D][Gm][C][Gm]

[Verse 8]
[D]
[C]We [D]mus[C]t[D][C][D]
[C]
be [D]crazy[C][D][C][D]
[C]We must be [D]crazy[C][D][C][D]
[C][D]
[C]There's [D]no [C]explan[D]ation[C]
[D]So [C]we [D]mus[C]t be c[D]razy[C]
