Ypsilanti Lyrics

[Verse 1]
July 1st, 1959
Ward D-23 State hospital
Social psychologist
Personality theory
Three schizophrenics in a room
Each one believing they're Christ
Joseph, Clyde, Leon
Rotating chairmanship
Second verse of America
Sometimes the first

[Verse 2]
Joseph protects England
Thus the whole world
Throws his books out windows
Now they breathe real good
Leon says he's a walking corpse
Davy Jones alive
He'll be there in Ypsi all his life

[Chorus]
You better tell someone who you are
'Cause they might change
You better tell someone who you are
Your mind could rearrange

[Verse 3]
Clyde was a farmer
But now he owns the world
Fifty thousand carloads
Of money, gold and jewels
Shoots quicker than the devil
The old man still could punch through walls
He'll be there in Ypsi all his life

[Chorus]
You better tell someone who you are
'Cause they might change
You better tell someone who you are
The damage of insane

[Verse 4]
Leon walks with arms down
Palms facing out
Call me not Interference
My name is I.R. Dung
If I see my hands, sir
I know they do no wrong
He'll be there in Ypsi all his life

[Outro]
I want to be me
All of my life
I want to be me
All of my life
I want to be me
All of my life
