I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness

I want you to be crazy cause you're
Boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy cause you're
Stupid baby when you're sane

I'm sick of social graces
Show your sharp tip teeth
Loose your cool in public
Dig the legal meet
'Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice cream
You got the same needs as a dog

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

I want you to be crazy cause you're
Boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy cause you're
Stupid baby when you're sane

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

[Repeat: 2X]
I want you to be crazy cause you're
Boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy cause you're
Stupid baby when you're sane

    Na, expensive sadness means that he'd wants to be rich and sad rather than poor and happy.

    He's been in prison and he wished he'd been able to be bailed out, because parole drives him mad, as do constant hospital bills and pressures. It's very beautifully lyrical.

    I can't work out what the rest of it means though. What does it mean?
