Cooper, Alice - Inmates (We're All Crazy) Lyrics






[Alice Cooper / Bernie Taupin / Dick Wagner]

It's not like we did something wrong
We just burned down the church
While the choir within sang religious songs
And it's not like we thought we was right
We just played with the wheels of a passenger train
That cracked on the tracks one night

It's not like we ain't on the ball
We just talk to our shrinks
Huh they talk to their shrinks
No wonder we're up the wall
We're not stupid or dumb
We're the lunatic fringe who rusted the hinge
On Uncle Sam's daughters and sons

Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in another world
With roller coaster brains
Imagine playing with trains

Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in some other world
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
Lizzy Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks

And don't think we're trying to be bad
All the innocent crime seemed alright at the time
Not necessarily mad not necessarily mad
We watch every day for the bus
And the driver would say
"That's where lunatics stay"
I wonder if he's talking about us

It's not like we're vicious or gone
We just dug up the graves where your relatives lay
In old forest lawn
And it's not like we don't know the score
We're the fragile elite they dragged off the street
I guess they just couldn't take us no more

Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in another world
With roller coaster brains
Imagine digging up graves

Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in some other world
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy
We're all crazy

  1. O.... P....

    This song is truly an EPIC mind & blood chilling Shock-Rock ANTHEM. It reaches the perfection of lyrical / musical arrangements previously only done by such rock legends as the Beatles. This album may not have got it's due recognition because it was TOO edgy for the late 70's. This is awesome ART ROCK of the highest quality and it kicked open doors for many, many, other groups to come in the 80's like ... Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Motley Crew etc, and on into the 90's for NIN, Marylin Manson, to just name but a few. ALL HAIL THE (BLACK WIDOW) KING!

  9. j.... l....

    Wow this brings back memories,I mean the whole Album.I havent heard this since maybe 1991 for I became a Christian in 1994.Of course Alice is a Christian himself now.but theres something so Special about this concept Story Album about People with big Problems in an asylum.the Music is Genius,how it combines rock,country,jazz,ballroom,yet still remains a legitimate rock Album.But where oh where is For Veronica's Sake?That was upbeat rocknroll,well worth many a listen,and fond lyrics about a doggie.cmon someone please get that one back on here too¨! Love.Jon

    “And don’t think we’re trying to be bad,
    All the innocent crimes seemed alright at the time
    Not necessarily mad....”

  11. K.... C....

    love this album, been a fan for years for this albums more than any

  12. B.... D....

    I can't choose a particular order of which is best. But my top three favorite AC Albums are From the Inside, Welcome to my Nightmare, and Killer!

  13. W.... S....

    When Alice sings "We're all crazy, crazy crazy crazy", that's the ringtone for my work (and any cell numbers associated with it).

  14. L.... S....

    Good ol boys and girls we're all crazy

  15. E.... &....

    What the??? Why are my posts getting replicated? Cant delete them either

    E.... &....

    We're all crazy, crazy, crazy.....crazy...crazy..

  16. E.... &....

    Likely more to do with Georgia Regional than the Federal, National News making issues

  17. E.... &....

    G.A.C.C. is prob the correct acronym

  18. E.... &....

    After reading the book, seeing the film, and listening the Alice Coppers LP, I can say that The film "OneWho Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is creatively different enough to establish a legal boundary between the two intellectual properties (Dwight, contact, Matt T, then myself re G.A.C.K. )

  19. F.... F....

    Amazing.

  20. L.... J....

    Nice , short but sweet observation of the world..

  21. S.... ....

    We're all crazy

  22. B.... P....

    Ya, it's hard between this album and brutal planet.... One of them is my favorite. Been trying to figure it out for years...

  23. B.... D....

    "Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty wacks..." Masterpiece!

  24. J.... W....

    This album and Raise Your Fist and Yell are my two favorite Alice records.

    J.... W....

    M...A...R...Y Gail....Classic!

  25. D.... S....

    Very awesome

  26. D.... S....

    Best song on this Earth

  27. D.... S....

    Best song in the world

    D.... S....

    @ Deborah Sisson. This songs brings goosebumps to just scream out. I never feel more alive. Talk you to later!

  28. P.... P....

    I wonder how many times "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" ran through his mind while he was recovering from alcohol abuse in the asylum. That's the source material for this album. They were often more like asylums than the vacation resort-like "treatment centers" or "rehabs" that we find today.

  29. R.... T....

    If you ever wondered what One Flew Over The Coco's would have looked like with Vincent Price as the leading actor. Then this song has you covered.

  30. S.... G....

    Not sad more power to those that are not like anyone else..I will take crazy over normal any day.

  31. D.... R....

    One of Alice's best albums

  32. S.... U....

    Alice's masterpiece. Out of the nuthouse, and ready jam again. Every song on this record tells of his asylum buddies when he was in for booze. Glorious album.

    S.... U....

    Out of the frying pan and into fire cuz the recording and tour for this album introduced Alice to his biggest demon, speed.

  33. R.... O....

    Easily one of my favorite AC albums

  34. c.... c....

    love this album. Brings back memories..we played the Hell out of this record.

  35. C.... ....

    Love this song....whats really crazy is it has a great deal of truth to it....

  36. N.... D....

    AC would have been taken much more seriously if he had gave up the ghoulish image after 77...

    N.... D....

    That was him , always will be

  37. A.... L....

    the intro reminds me of the intro to Chicago's "youre the inspiration" with those band tacets

  38. D.... K....

    crazy we shot the people in the church then burned it down...

  39. H.... W....

    "We watch every day for the bus, and the driver would say 'That's where lunatics stay!' I wonder if he's talking 'bout us..."

  40. J.... P....

    This whole album is a smash hit imo.

    J.... P....

    you are so fucking right.

  41. W.... B....

    Completely true

  42. J.... S....

    I hues they could not Take us anymore... welcome...

  43. D.... P....

    life is hard when people don't understand you

    D.... P....

    Depends if you care or not.

    D.... P....

    that is what she said, minus the understand you part...8======)

  44. D.... H....

    Bernie Taupin at his best...

    D.... H....

    Doug Hegle and Dick Wagner....

    D.... H....

    And Steve Lukather.

  45. D.... B....

    I think this is his second greatest album The Ballad of Dwight Fry my favor but most of them are good well damn good

    D.... B....

    no mate this is no 1.

  46. S.... S....

    Sang this song to myself(out loud) the whole time I was in the psych ward. Not a bad time,u definitely get to meet sum interesting people! I met a dude that was a professional clown who once had a pet crow. He was committed cuz he beat up a bunch of cops on the roadside. In full clown get-up. He was a big ass dude but was friendly enough while I was in there. Most likely heavily medicated tho-I'm sure that helped.

  47. E.... ....

    JokerxHarley in a nutshell XD

  48. C.... a....

    one of his best, wish i could remember 78 thou

    C.... a....

    Or the 70's and 80's in general...

    C.... a....

    Those were the best years of my life!

  49. M.... ....

    Best alice cooper album

    M.... ....

    Yes def one of them 👽! I remember buying this one at a flea market in the 5th grade wow I had great taste 😂

    M.... ....

    Enjoyable but I think he's had stronger efforts.

    M.... ....

    That would be Pretties For You, but this is definitely the best album Vince made after becoming a solo artist.

    M.... ....

    @ClassicRock4007 not even close

  50. S.... L....

    Imagine playing with trains?

    S.... L....

    Good old boys and girls, congregating waiting in some other world.

    S.... L....
