Hold on to your head
Hold on to your hat
You're screaming down the alley
And never coming back
Oh yeah
Get out of my bed
Get out of the sack
Don't give me no lip
Don't you give me no crap
No way
Get out of the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out of the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
Got to, got to get out
Yeah
Get out of my face
Get out of my shack
Now you've had a fair share
Now you've had a fair whack
Oh yeah
Hold on to your butt
Hold on to your hat
You're heading out of here
And never coming back
Oh no
Get out of the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out of the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
We'll never make it
Don't you fake it
You're getting loaded
I'm getting goaded
Got to, got to get out
Come on, baby
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to your hat
Don't give me no shit
Don't you give me no crap
Whoo!
Hold on to your head
Don't give me no rap
I've had it up to here
With your yakety yak
You're getting loaded
I'm getting goaded
We'll never make it
Don't you fake it
Get out of the madhouse
Tear it all down
Get out of the madhouse
Burn it to the ground
Got to, got to get out
Got to get out
Come on, baby
Come on, baby
Burn it all down
I'm over with you, baby
I'm over with you, baby
Get up, get out
Get up, get out
Get up
