about

This could be my theme song. I wrote it back in 1978 or so and it unfortunately still holds up today.

lyrics

If That Ain’t Crazy words and music by Darrell Rodgers

Every time I look a headline I seem to find
That the world gets a little bit crazier every time
With fanatics everywhere tellin’ you how things must be
And they break your face in case you disagree

If that ain’t crazy, If that ain’t strange
Then the world’s in store for one hell of a dangerous change.
If that ain’t crazy, Nuts at best
You better lock me up, I think I need a rest.

I know a little boy who’s constantly under attack
Just because his momma’s white and his daddy’s black.
The other kids at school say “We can’t play with you”
And if you ask them why they say “my momma told me not to”

If that ain’t crazy, If that ain’t strange
Then the world’s in store for one hell of a dangerous change.
If that ain’t crazy, Nuts at best
You better lock me up, I think I need a rest.

I was surprised when I heard a preacher preachin’ for war
He said “America don’t have to take no stuff no more”
He said “We’ll kick some butt and make them run and hide”
He said “We got the right ‘cause Jesus is on our side”

If that ain’t crazy, If that ain’t strange
Then the world’s in store for one hell of a dangerous change.
If that ain’t crazy, Nuts at best
You better lock me up, I think I need a rest.
You better lock me up, I think I need a rest.
You better lock me up, -- Lord I think I need a little rest.
