Lyrics
Can I play with madnessGive me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place
Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Hahaa! He said
Can I play with madness
He said you're blind too blind to see
Yeah he said that you're too blind to see
Mmh
I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don't lie don't say you don't know
I say you pay for this mischief
Oh in this world or the next
Oh then he's fixed me with a freezing glance
And hellfire's raged in his eyes
He said do you wanna know the truth son
Oh I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire
Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Hahaa! He said
Can I play with madness
He said you're blind too blind to see
Ohh
Listen to me said the prophet
Can I play with madness
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Hahaa! He said
Can I play with madness
He said you're blind too blind to see
Can I play with madness
