The Lunatics Have Taken Over

This is a piece I did for the contest at

Title and content were inspired by the songs Take the Pill, by Emilie Autumn and The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum, by Collide. The latter song and a quote from the first is pasted below for your enjoyment!



"We are not happy with your progress
You're not yet considered "sane"
If these pills are not effective
We'll electroshock your brain"

~Take the Pill

"I see a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the people's wrist
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on the list

The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum

No nuclear the cowboy told us
And who am I to disagree
'Cos when the madman flips the switch
The nuclear will go for me

The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum

I've seen the faces of starvation
But I just can not see the points
'Cos there's so much food here today
That no one wants to take away

The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum

The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my dignity
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my family
Take awaythe right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Take away my point of view
Take away my right to choose"
