Exodus - Deranged Lyrics






Voices inside my head are making me go mad
Now I'm afraid to sleep from nightmares that I've had
I feel I'm on the edge, I need some kind of cure
Now I've gone and killed someone, I'm mentally disturbed!

[Chorus:]
They can't keep me locked away
My psychiatrist says I'm ok
They think that they've got me trained
But I know I'm really deranged!

Arrested for murder, my casecomes to trial
Prosecution's accusing me of things sick and vile
I admit I'm guilty, but plead insanity
Six months at Bellevue, then I'm walking free

[Chorus]

They want to calm me so they feed me thorazine
It doesn't make me calmer, it only makes me mean
Now they let me loose, back in society
With some psychiatric help and a lobotomy
But I've got them fooled, I'm playing at their game
I'm more psycho than before, I don't even know my name
I know they should have killed me when they had the chance
But the system let me off with a little song and dance!

    Palabras de Tom Skid: un yonki que merodeaba en los alrededores del estudio donde Exodus grababa 'Pleasures of the Flesh' en 1987.
    Registraron su voz y esto es lo que dice al inicio del tema:

    "La vida se está descontrolando un poco ... eso creo. No sé si estás de acuerdo (¿me pasás el cenicero?) ¿Viste? Es como si, es como, es lo que es. Viste, ya escuchaste esa palabra mil veces. Es una carrera de locos, viste?
    He pasado por experiencias infernales. Tengo convulsiones alcohólicas, termino en el hospital y todo eso. Estoy enfermo. Y tiemblo... como una flan ...
    Casi como el fiolo que lo tiran al auto, dentro de una patrulla y lo golpean hasta matarlo. Yo me la puse contra uno de esos, contra la rueda delantera. Y volé al carajo. Y me enojé conmigo y dije.. jajaja 'tengo muchos huevos' jajaja.
    Me gusta la ensalada. Recién comí una buena ensalada, papa al horno, algo de queso crema, jaja y cebollitas jeje. Viste, solo me gustaría comer una ensalada. Por qué, tenés algo en mente? Jeje jajajajajaja."

    Voices inside my head are making me go mad

  60. K.... C....

    A classic

  61. T.... L....

    Gary said that "Tom Skid" died shortly after recording this. Hit by a bus.
    Not a nice way to go at all...

    T.... L....

    +Tiago Laranjo He's a legend for this I say. Hope he knew! RIP Mr. Skid!

  62. E.... 1....

    This album needs a remaster badly

    E.... 1....

    Remaster wouldn't help at all. What you're (correctly) complaining about is the gawd-awful production, mostly the drums.
    Although I memorized and have since been LOVING and reciting this intro for almost 30 years, still gotta say that this is about as good as it gets if you want a perfect example of some HORRIBLE 80's production. The snare may not have reverb from a warehouse-sized room effecting it, but the way it's mic'd and EQ'd .... OMG ... you couldn't isolate worse frequencies while eliminating the good (did they even capture any in the master? I seriously, honestly doubt it) ones.
    I've always wished I could hear this album with THESE drums removed & instead hear the production/mix we hear in Dave Lombardo's South of Heaven takes. He would have been the better drummer, too.
    Anyway, too late and too long ago now. Deranged is still & will always be a classic, anyway. And WOW - what a great riff. It could have been produced into something that aged so well. Coulda woulda shoulda!!!

    E.... 1....

    @ Mike...Amen! I was SO anticipating this album after Bonded By Blood...and just crushed by this lame ass production. I can’t even listen to this album because of it. Some of the songs aren’t too great either, but I wonder if I’m just biased against the overall bad sound. The kick drum is as horrible as the snare. And Zet wasn’t too great here either imo. He got much better in later years. People would be mentioning Exodus with the Big 4 if it had been better. But songwriting aside...the production is awful and pisses me off. Gary and Rick were like gods to me then.

  63. T.... V....

    I saw them on this tour.  Man this brings me back.

    T.... V....

    @***** Yes, Celtic Frost!

    T.... V....

    +eggdod Pits were pits back then....

  64. j.... s....

    And Rick quit bumming my cigarettes dammit!

  65. v.... ....

    This screams FUCK YOU! When metal meant something!

  66. M.... ....

    One of my most favorite tunes from Exodus. ROCK ON!!!!!

  67. b.... ....

    on repeat

  68. M.... S....

    He sounds like Bon Scott's evil twin

    M.... S....

    Heard their cover of AC/DC's Overdose from Fabulous Disaster? Pretty damn good!

    M.... S....

    They cover AC/DC on the re-issue of Pleasures.

  69. J.... M....

    *******The ACTUAL lyrics******

I just ate a nice salad, baked potato and some cream cheese...he he he...and chives. Ya know I just....I like to eat a salad. Why, did you have something in mind? Hahahahahaha

    T.... ....

    ThrashIsBack100 I like salad.

    T.... ....

    WAAAAAY off on the words there, bubba.

  72. S.... ....

    No, the last time I checked, America wasn't a "white nation." I mean if it was, how come we have a black president? Also, lets not forget the blacks never wanted to come here at all.

    S.... ....

    Skullsplitter the fuck you talkin 'bout Willis?

  73. H.... ....

    Assuming this is true, the only message I can take away is that it's ok to drive people off their land and/or massacre them as long as the people you are doing that to have previously done that to another group of people." This just happens to be EXACTLY the arguments anti-racists use to excuse their insitence on flooding every white nation and ONLY white nations with millions of non-whites.

    Anti-racist is a code word for anti-WHITE.

  74. S.... ....

    Dude that is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. First of all, its not a white country, its a country for anybody. Seconde, you guys pretty much wiped out the majority of Native Americans and put the remaining ones in reservations and yet you have the audacity to say that America is a "white nation."

  75. K.... ....

    Exodus the best album ever....Fabulous Disaster album a good one too.

    K.... ....

    This and Bonded By Blood.

  76. T.... O....

    The laugh at the end! :{D

  77. H.... ....

    People say there is a RACE problem. People say this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY and ONLY into white countries.
    People say the only solution to the RACE problem is if EVERY and ONLY white countries “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites
    But if I tell the truth about the ongoing program of genocide against White people, Anti-Whites agree that Iam anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
    Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white

  78. D.... Q....

    In college, back in the 90's, I would prank people on the phone with this intro!

  82. J.... B....

  83. a.... ....

    some exodus fans did not like zetro's voice when this came out. i think he's alright

  84. P.... ....
