| Re: Lyrics to You Gotta Be Crazy and Raving and Drooling? The lyrics would change up through 1975 here and there, as the band kept working on the arrangements, but here is what they sing on the officially-released versions from 1974. They wouldn't be completely reworked into Sheep/Dogs until 1976. Raving and Drooling Raving and drooling, I fell on his neck with a scream He had a whole lot of terminal shock in his eyes That's what you get for pretending the rest are not real Babbling and snapping at far-away flies He will zig-zag his way back through memories of boredom and pain Raving and drooling, I fell on his neck with a scream He was caught in the middle Between the illusion of safety in numbers and being brought down to his knees You've Got To Be Crazy You gotta be crazy, you gotta be mean You gotta keep your shoes and your car clean You gotta keep smiling, you gotta keep fit You gotta keep drinking, you gotta eat shit You gotta be small to be a big shot You gotta eat meat to stay at the top You gotta be trusted, you gotta tell lies You gotta be able to narrow your eyes You gotta believe they've gotta believe you You gotta appear to be easy to see through Gotta be sure you look good on T.V. Gotta resemble a human being You gotta keep one eye over your shoulder It's gonna get harder as you get older Gotta fly south and hide in the sand Gotta forget that you're gonna get cancer And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown And as the fear grows The bad blood slows and turns to stone And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around So have a good drown as you go down alone Dragged down by the stone You gotta be sure, you gotta be quick Gotta divide the tame from the sick Gotta keep all of us docile and fit You gotta keep everyone buying this shit They gotta get you started early Processed by the time you're thirty You work like f*** 'til you're sixty-five And then your time's your own until you die Gotta admit to lot of confusion Pain in the head is the child of collusion Gotta resist this creeping malaise Gotta believe in the way you get out of the maze But you, you just keep on pretending You can tell a sucker from a friend But you still raise the knife to stranger, lover, friend and foe alike Who was born in a house full of pain Who was sent out to play on his own Who was raised on a diet of shame Who was trained not to spit in the fan Who was told what to do by the man Who was broken by trained personnel Who was fitted with bridle and bit Who was given a seat in the stand Who was forcing his way to the rails Who was offered a place on the board Who was only a stranger at home Who was ground down in the end Who was found dead on the phone Who was dragged down by the stone Dragged down by the stone Last edited by Botley; 11-19-2011 at 10:47 AM. |
