Gee, sounds an awful lot like the lyrics to Supertramp's "Asylum" on
"Crime Of The Century":

    "When they haunt me and they taunt me in my cage, I mock them
    all.  They're feeling small -- they got no answer.  They're
    playing dumb.  And I'm just laughing as they rage."

    "Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum.  It's only a game I'm
    playing for fun.  I've been trying to fool everyone."

Nothing succeeds like excess.
