Mother, I've taken LSD
I thought it would set me free
But now I think it's changed me
It's changed me
It's changed me
It's changed me

Now I see the sadness in the world
I'm sorry I didn't see it before
Now I see the sadness in the world
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sadness, sadness
Sadness, sadness

Mother, they've taken Kim to the ward
Probably won't see her anymore
She tried to rob the drug store
Oh, oh

Mother, did you hear about Tommy's crash?
You know he rides his motorcycle way too fast
He's alive but they say he won't last
He won't last, no, he won't last
He won't last

Now I see the sadness in the world
I'm sorry I didn't see it before
Now I see the sadness in the world
Sad, sad, sad, sad
Sadness, sadness
Sadness, sadness
