As the third proper track on World Coming Down (number 5 on the track list), Who Will Save The Sane? condemns the condescending attitude of people as well as their fake sympathy towards the mentally ill.
[Verse 1]
Periodic tableware
Psychotropic science fair
[Chorus]
But who will save the sane?
Some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by
With a fake tear in your eye
And think "Isn't he strange?"
[Verse 2]
Pseudogasmic chemistry
Necromorphic apathy
[Chorus]
But who will save the sane?
Some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by
With a fake tear in your eye
And think "Isn't he strange?"
[Verse 3]
Physical laws unapplied
Hamper my quest
Unsurreal world
Of unfailed HIV tests
Der Übermensch warning of
O tech (No junkies)
3.141592653...
Come on, boy, tell me, tell me
[Verse 4]
Tentative ambulance
Date bound for G Ward
Beartrap psychiatrist bait
Chew my paw off
Unmercilessly, we will take you
Away to slumber
But only if you can recite
Avogadro's number
Come on, boy, tell me, tell me
[Chorus]
But who will save the sane?
Some beings just can't change
Now crawl on by
With a fake tear in your eye
And think "Isn't he strange?"
[Outro]
Now crawl on by
With a fake tear in your eye
And think
"Wasn't he strange?"
