All aboard ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Let's go

I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah, yeah

Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

    Song Meaning

    None of you guys got this right. This song is about cocaine. He talks about how people talk and talk, theres things that are so bad in this world, the only thing that will help is "going off the rails on the crazy train". Cocaine will make you go crazy when you do too much of it.

    This was during the time when he was getting off the drugs and thought this song was relevant to what he was going through.
