From the recording Caterwauling
Despite the difficulties of mental illness, sometimes one can be positive about it.
Lyrics
I may be strange but I really don't care
The way I dress the way I cut my hair
Maybe I'm dancing in my underwear Don't be scared
It may seem hard but no need to be sad
I do my best so that life isn't bad
And I'm going to shout 'I'm glad, I am mad'
I'm going to shout 'I'm glad, I am mad'
Maybe you think that I'm a silly sod
I maybe barefoot or maybe I'm shod
Maybe I'm talking to a spirit or god. I am odd
chorus
The doctors they give me this medicine
But I like to be me like to be genuine
So whether I frown or whether I grin. It's a win
chorus
I may be calm or I may be irate
Talking to myself in an internal debate
Chatting in my head with Alexander the Great. He's my mate
chorus
I'm going to shout 'I'm glad, I am mad'
I'm going to shout 'I'm glad, I am mad'
