"Benny & Joon"
(Johnny Andrews / Johnny Lee Andrews / William Beckett)

Hey!
Hey!
Spreading rumors in the hallways, like telephone
Watered down with white noise, overblown
Are they ever gonna just leave us alone?
Take a look at all the white coats in the room
Staring at us sideways, like we're Benny and Joon
Yeah we saw that movie, too

We know what they don't know, o-o-o-o-o-oh
We see what they can't see, o-o-o-o-o-oh
They say we're crazy
I say well maybe that's true
But we know who we are now
Just leave us alone. Hey!
Just leave us alone. Hey!

When I met you from the voices in my head
It felt like a reaction from all the meds
Now I don't feel that depressed
Well now they got me strapped down in the chair
But as long as you're beside me, babe, I don't care
Well I guess it's been a really fucked-up year

No, No, we know what they don't know, o-o-o-o-o-oh
We see what they can't see, o-o-o-o-o-oh
They say we're crazy
Okay, well maybe that's true
But we know who we are now, in spite of all the flaws
In spite of all the poison, chemicals and all
We know who we are now, we know who we are now
Just leave us alone. Hey!
Just leave us alone. Hey!

Take a look at all the white coats in the room
Staring at us sideways, like we're Benny and Joon

We know what they don't know, o-o-o-o-o-oh
We see what they can't see, o-o-o-o-o-oh
They say we're crazy
Okay, well maybe that's true
But we know who we are now
Just leave us alone. Hey!
Just leave us alone. Hey!
Just leave us alone, just leave us alone, just leave us alone

Yeah we saw that movie, too
