"You've Got To Be Crazy" lyrics

"You've Got To Be Crazy"
(1975 Tour Version)

You gotta be crazy
You gotta be real mean
Is your mind right?, are your kids bright?
Do you keep your car clean?
You know you must keep moving on, keep yourself fit
You gotta keep on smiling, taking all this shit

Must have been hard for no one
Need to be a big shot
Must have had a tough time
Got to be the top one at the top
You need to be trusted
Have to tell lies
Learn to look heartless as you narrow your eyes

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
It's gonna get harder and harder and harder as you get older
Pack up, get up and fly south and hide in the sand
You're going to be an old man and you're gonna get cancer

And when you loose control
You'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows
The bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight
You used to need to throw around
So have a good drown
As you go down
All Alone
Dragged down by the stone

Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Something keeps telling me that I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake and try to shake off this creeping malaise
Gotta fly down, down to my home ground, somewhere outside of this maze

And you, you're here too
But you just keep on pretending
That everyone's the same as you
And no one has a real friend
And everything's the game, you could be the winner
Cause that's the way it really is
And everyone's a killer

Who was born in a house full of pain (Born in a house full of pain)
Who was trained not to spit in the fan (Trained not to spit in the fan)
Who was told what to do by the man (Told what to do by the man)
Who was broken by trained personnel (Broken by trained personnel)
Who was fitted with bridle and bit (Fitted with bridle and bit)
Who was given a seat in the stand (Given a seat in the stand)
Who was forcing his way to the rail (Forcing his way to the rail)
Who was offered a place on the board (Offered a place on the board)
Who was only a stranger at home (Only a stranger at home)
Who was ground down in the end (Ground down in the end)
Who was found dead on the phone (Found dead on the phone)
Who was dragged down by the stone (Stone!)
Who was dragged down by the stone
