They used those fancy words to confuse your mind   But since I never did no elocution rhymes   Made me think that everything they said was fine   So I nod and wink and smile   I said I understood   I went all the way   Giving up myself to their philosophy   Now that things have changed   I make my mind up for myself   I look back on all those words   There's little meaning in their sound   They make me mad   They make me mad   Mindless confusion makes me mad   Look beyond people   Untie your hands   You're living in a time of shifting sands   Fights are happening in other lands   Now I shake my head and frown   I'm getting off my knees   I'm gonna teach myself   A new philosophy   Have things really changed?   Do I make my mind up for myself?   I look back on all those words   There's little meaning in their sound   They make me mad   They make me mad   Mindless confusion   Makes me mad
