What's this little lie   They keep on tellin' me   It's just another high   They keep on sellin' me   I was only five   They fed me so much jive   They said just have a ball   Just be a Barbie doll   They churned and burned me out   Until they turned me out   Over and over again      Mama I'm strange   The thoughts and the wants are the locks   On the back of my brain   I'm descending, pretending, I'm blending   I'm going insane   And they want me to change   Mama I'm strange      I'm on a shaky wall   I'm trippin' down my hall   And all the king's men can't   Can't sew me up again   I got a leaky head   Don't know the full extent   I'm drownin' in my bed   I'm just an accident   They chewed and blew me out   Until they threw me out   Over and over again      Mama I'm strange   The thoughts and the wants are the locks   On the back of my brain   I'm descending, pretending, I'm blending   I'm going insane   And they want me to change   Mama I'm strange      If I could tranquilize   I might just vaporize   They couldn't supervise   They couldn't criticize   I have no evidence   I have no reverence   It makes no difference   I have no innocence      Mama I'm strange   The thoughts and the wants are the locks   On the back of my brain   I'm descending, pretending, I'm blending   I'm going insane   And they want me to change   Mama I'm strange   The thoughts and the wants are the locks   On the back of my brain   I'm descending, pretending, I'm blending   I'm going insane   And they want me to change   I'm going insane   I don't need a change   Mama I'm strange   Mama I'm strange   Mama I'm strange
