I was only seven  when I learned how to read  I got the education  every child is guaranteed  We read around the classroom  Teacher hollered "Next!"  I was only comfortable  when reading Hebrew text  I’m dyslexic and I’m mad  D-A-M    Well I met a boy named Otto  I loved him for his name  ‘cause backwards and forwards  it always looks the same  He took me to a musical  I gave him such a hug  I said "What a great production of  Annie Get Your Nug"  I’m dyslexic and I’m mad  D-A-M    Backwards forwards sideways  up and down and down and out  It’s all so topsy turvy  it makes me want to shout      "Is there anybody out there  who could lift this mental fog?"  I may not be religious  but I do believe in Dog    Driving down the highway  on a dark and stormy night  I hit the left hand signal  Of course I headed right  A cop gave me a ticket  and what was even worse  when I went to pull away from him  I threw it in reverse  Tish happens  D-A-M    Some folks think it’s a handicap  but I think that they’re wrong  ‘Cause I get the backwards lyrics  in those heavy metal songs  Internet connections and pet psychology  the timer on the VCR  they all make sense to me  I’m dyslexic  Hot Damn!  M-A-D  I’m dyslexic  and I’m Mad  D-A-M
