Outside the world's gone mad And dad's inside of my head Asking me what I'm doing Telling me what to say Wondering if I'll get a job Telling me how to behave Outside the world's gone mad Dad's inside of my head He reads me tortured stories Of heroes who died unnamed The prophet's words of glory And the devil's fortress of shame Outside the world's gone mad Dad's inside of my head He knows when I'm feeling sorrow He asks me if I still pray I tell him I'll be home tomorrow Save his prayers for another day
