Don’t call me crazy
Free country? You’re joking
Will we ever get there?
Cos I wouldn’t even say maybe
That would be wishful hoping
When this world just doesn’t care

About you, about me
About nobody but themselves…

And you say maybe
We’ll higher the taxes
Don’t call me crazy
But does freedom exist?
And you say maybe
And you give us false hope
And don’t call me crazy
But how have we coped, for so long?

Don’t call me
Don’t call me crazy

Don’t call me crazy
Equality and diversity? Get real
We’re turning into liars
You make it all sound so easy
Like you don’t know how we feel
If you think I’m stupid, you’re still none-the-wiser

About you, about us
Not even about yourself

And you say maybe
We’ll announce the end of the world
Don’t call me crazy
But you’ve said this before
And you say maybe
And you steal away our money
And don’t call me crazy
But how have we coped, I’m not being funny

About you, about me
About nobody but themselves…

And you say babies
Are the answer to our debt
Don’t call me crazy
But you seem to forget
Benefits make us lazy
And we’re hanging by string
And don’t call me crazy
But how have we survived everything?

And you say maybe
We’ll higher the taxes
Don’t call me crazy
But does freedom exist?
And you say maybe
And you give us false hope
And don’t call me crazy
But how have we coped, for so long?

And you say maybe
We’ll announce the end of the world
Don’t call me crazy
But you’ve said this before
And you say maybe
And you steal away our money
And don’t call me crazy
But how have we coped, I’m not being funny

But how have we coped? (I’m not being funny)
But how have we coped? (I’m not being funny)
But how have we coped? (I’m not being funny)
I’m not being funny

Now I get to homophobia
And it’s been nice to know ya
You can’t pronounce us “husband and man”
It’s illegal to kiss another man in public
These laws are beginning to make me feel sick
Don’t say what I can’t do and what I can
Man

It’s illegal to be racist
But there’s freedom of speech
That one thing contradicts it
What are we trying to teach?
And who the are we to preach on the street?

Don’t call me crazy…
Don’t call me crazy...

This is about the lack of equality and diversity in the world at the moment.
