Dear fanatic, take it easy
Stop pounding on my brain
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You're making me go insane
Take your knife from my throat
Get your gun off my back
Stop taking money from my pocket
Get your hand off my head
Dear fanatic, take it easy
Stop pushing me around
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You're the craziest guy in town
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You come on like a machine
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You just about make me scream
Well, I'm walking back on down the road
And ran into a man who looked like a toad
He wore a giant Colgate toothpaste smile
And he stared in my eyes for a little while
Then he shoved a picture of his guru in my face
And screamed in my ear, "You've got no faith!
You must fear the Lord!" he said to me
"Fear the Lord and you'll be free!"
But when I said I'd just like to be God's friend
He pulled out his sword to do me in
Screaming that his God I did offend
Well, before I knew it, my leg had kicked
Just like they do in the kung fu flicks
Well, I left that scene when the crowd screamed
That a holy man had just been creamed
Dear fanatic, take it easy
Stop pounding on my brain
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You're making me go insane
Take your knife from my throat
Get your gun off my back
Stop taking money from my pocket
Get your hand off my head
Dear fanatic, take it easy
Stop pushing me around
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You're the craziest guy in town
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You come on like a machine
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You just about make me scream
Dear fanatic, take it easy
Stop pounding on my brain
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You're making me go insane
Take your knife from my throat
Get your gun off my back
Stop taking money from my pocket
Get your hand off my head
Dear fanatic, take it easy
Stop pushing me around
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You're the craziest guy in town
Take your knife from my throat
Get your gun off my back
Stop taking money from my pocket
Get your hand off my head
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You don't own my soul
Dear fanatic, take it easy
God's still in control, don't worry!
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You come on like a machine
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You just about make me scream
Dear fanatic, take it easy
Stop eating out my brain
Dear fanatic, take it easy
You're making me go insane
