Collide covers the still-relevant "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)", created by Fun Boy Three in 1981, right before the US Presidential Inauguration.
"The Lunatics (Have Taken over the Asylum)" by Fun Boy Three
"No nuclear the cowboy told us
And who am i to disagree
'Cos when the madman flips the switch
The nuclear will go for me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
I've seen the faces of starvation
But i just can not see the point
'Cos there's so much food here today
That no one wants to take away
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my dignity,
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum - take away my family,
Take away the right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view,
Take away my right to choose
This song was originally written by Fun Boy Three in 1981.
When we first heard it, we were deeply impacted by it. The song was so brilliant, important, poignant, and meaningful. It says so much in such an artful way.
As we move into the future, we seem to be dealing with so much craziness in these uncertain times, that it is up to each of us to speak up and make ourselves heard now more then ever.
We are offering our version of "The Lunatics (Are Taking Over the Asylum)" for free, or donate what you want.
We will donate half the proceeds to Planned Parenthood.
