Bedlam Town
Music and Lyrics by Mat Greaves
There we were in London playing music in the street
Up walks doctor looking man with top hat, coat and cane
He took one short look at us without being discrete
He diagnosed us; we we’re clinically insane
He said yes and we said maybe so
He said we’re mad as clowns
So he sentenced us; we never thought we’d have to go
Down, down, down
To Bedlam Town
All the cells are crowded and there’s hardly room to stretch
All the food is terrible, I guess budgets are slight
Every doctor in here’s a sadistic fucking wretch
And l need a seamstress my strait jacket is too tight
They say yes and we say no
they say were mad as clowns
They sentenced us; we never thought we’d have to go
Down, down, down
To Bedlam Town
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down in Bedlam Town
There is no escape
You will be shown no mercy
Whether you are mad
Whether you are sane
You’ll get an ice bath or shock therapy
You’ll get an ice bath or shock therapy
We’ve been here 4, 5 years or perhaps it’s 9 or 10
Every hour spent in here feels like eternity
We wonder if we’ll ever see our family or friends
This place has robbed us of the dregs that was our sanity
They say yes and we say no
They say were mad as the clowns
They sentenced us; We never thought we’d have to go
Down, down, down
To Bedlam Town
The doctor says I’m getting worse each and every night
However once I break out of this cage I’m ripping him to shreds
Everybody says if I don’t comply they’ll execute me but that makes me laugh
Because hey, I’m already dead
They say yes and we say no
Them say we’re mad as clowns
They sentenced us; we never thought we’d have to go
Down, down, down
They say yes and we say no
We’d rather be six feet under ground
They sentenced us; we never thought we’d have to go
Down, down, down
Down down down
To Bedlam Town
Down, down, down, down, down
