I'd like to be the first to say it's good to have you here in this wonderful place (You have joined a very special club) I know what you're thinking, you don't belong Well take a look around you know you're wrong (You don't have to feel so crazy here) It's not so bad It gets better once you give up fighting Keep yourself from hiding We're so happy Even if it takes a pill Everybody needs some self medication, so don't you believe their lies Welcome to the insanity (Welcome to the insanity) Once revealed, can't conceal the depravity Learn to bide the ignorance Turn to your brother and make that bliss Cause' nothing will ever be the same to you again I don't know about this, to say I'm sick and I just wanna be normal again (They just want to make you dull like them) You see, society will treat you with piety If you can entertain them and move them too (In this day it pays to be a loon) They treat you like a freak But at the core they're meek If you aren't afraid of them then they'll make you their king Welcome to the insanity (Welcome to the insanity) Once revealed, can't conceal the depravity Learn to bide the ignorance Turn to your brother and make that bliss Cause' nothing will ever be the same to you again I can't believe that life is just a series of stages And we're meant to perform I'm so happy, even if it takes a pill I must escape, I must escape Welcome to the insanity (Insanity, it's the insanity) It's all the same, depravity It may seem so very pointless but we don't want to need to want this But if you would ever give it all a meaning Then nothing would ever be the same to you again
