it's like i dressed up in my mama's clothing
it's like i'm talking to a voice that doesn't exist
it's like i got a wire crossed upstairs
but all i want is just a little truth
and that's it
they say i'm mental but i'm just confused
they say i'm mental but i've been abused
they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all
another anchorman is on the t.v.
he's got that far away and vacant look in his eye
i turn the channel but nothing is changing
the only truth is that everything is a lie
they say i'm mental but i'm just confused
they say i'm mental but i've been abused
they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all
there's truth in everything
there's truth in lies
with all this knowledge i think i'm gonna be wise
they say i'm mental but i'm just confused
they say i'm mental but i've been abused
they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all
not at all

| Reminds of way back when I was really depressed and very cynical. When you reach the state of mind where everything seems to be a lie and you're simply not "amused by it all". Then again it might be because that's when I first heard the song. *shrug* | |

| its about not knowing the truths of life and being deprived of these meanings. he is being really sarcastic and ironic when he says 'with all this knowledge i think im gonna be wise' | |
