Genius or Lunatic - The Pop Group

If they don’t like your views

And they don’t like your art

They put you in a mental home

And take your mind apart

And they’ll put you in a padded cell

Because you’re too creative

And torture you to hell

And you’re lucky you’re allowed to live

Chorus: Genius or lunatic

Genius or …

And you’re full of anger

And you know you’re sane

It’s those who put you there

Who are corrupt and insane

They did it to Van Gogh

They did it to Andreas

They said I’d said enough

And now it’s away with me

What’s the borderline between genius or lunatic

Shut up!

and you’ll be fine

Dissent and you’ll be mentally sick

Let me out of here…
