Lyrics:
See a clinic full of cynics
Who want to twist the peoples' wrist
They're watching every move we make
We're all included on the list
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
No nuclear the cowboy told us
And who am I to disagree
'Cause when the madman flips the switch
The nuclear will go for me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
I've seen the faces of starvation
But I just can not see the points
'Cause there's so much food here today
That no one wants to take away
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my right to choose
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my point of view
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my dignity
Take these things away from me
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
The lunatics have taken over the asylum, take away my family
Take away the right to speak
The lunatics have taken over the asylum take away my point of view
Take away my right to choose

![The Specials - Ghost Town [Official HD Remastered Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RZ2oXzrnti4/mqdefault.jpg)
This was visionary in 1981 when the album came out. 43 years later we are living in it. Oh my!
That was what I was about to say:-)
This song is very, now.
The Specials played this and Ghost Town live at a festival in PA in '81. They were impressive standouts that I remembered until I finally heard the album and singles.
This should be the UK's national anthem.
Bring down Westminster!
@@donttalkpish2012 Why? its the finest neo gothic lunatic asylum ever built
@@jameskellard5075 lol
@@jameskellard5075 Must be the origin of the term 'political asylum'.
Add The Shortbread Senate to the list with Sturgeon's Gender Recognition fiasco.
Terry Hall has escaped the asylum. What a legend. His voice, his words, his memories live on. RIP TH
Defo dear voice amazin
Gotta get the nackas oot
respect to you for saying tbose words, the lunatics
When Terry talks I forget that racism is even a thing. I shouldn't but I do.
We're all together in this, feels good to remember that...

Good God this song is even more true today than when it was released 😢
100%
No shit, right!?!
That’s because nothing ever changes. It’s always the powerful & corrupt that exploit the masses.
RIP Terry Hall. You’ll be missed by millions😢
True That and different ages as well !!!!!😪
True. An absolute legend. But will never be forgotten.
RIP Terry Hall. This week I shall mostly be listening to Two Tone and associated acts.
RIP Terrry. I am a 63yr old Coventry Kid. I grew up with him and his music. He had an horrendous start to his life, but his music had a positive affect on mine. Thank you for the music Terry. XX
Me too I am 70 and the music back then was so so good.
RIP Terry, you legend.
Prophetic words in today's World.
We still need you Terry Hall! You made it make some sense. Rest in power, wonderful man & thank you for sharing your music & talent with us. ❤
Hopefully he didnt die in vain & people have got the message R.R.I.P
The thorn in Thatcher's side. Thanks for being our voice, Terry
Along with Dammers Strummer Bragg & Weller
@@osamabinliner9781Good luck with your republican utopia too, buddy. It's gonna take you another few decades to realize that both of these parties belong to the same fucking wallets, won't it
@@osamabinliner9781Wha?
I worked at a CD shop in the early 90s and found The Collection release. It quickly became one of my favorites of all time. This song is my most played of the compilation.
This song is more applicable in 2022 than ever before. Timeless.
escalating in 2024
R.I.P. Terry, thank you for the soundtrack to my childhood. 🖤
Can we just take a moment and revel in how amazing Terry's hair was
A song as true today as it was then. RIP Terry Hall.
RIP Terry. Been a fan since 1982.
Happy Birthday Terry. You may not longer walk the earth, but never forgotten.
More pertinent than ever.
Yes
It's frustrating for those of US who lived through this music back then to see that absolutely NOTHING has changed, since then.
History is repeating itself, all-over again...
Rest in Power, Terry Hall.
Not much has changed since those lyrics were written: "Go nuclear the cowboy told us, but who am I to disagree, cos when the madman flips the switch, the nuclear will go for me." At that time people could see that having USA nuclear weapons on our soil pointed at Russia made us a target. Nowadays nobody questions anything.
Notice all the propaganda to get us hyped up about wanting to start a war against Russia? How are people so sure we know all the facts when any news with an alternative opinion is banned? What happened to Russia Today news?
I lived through times when British media edited out voices of Irish republican politicians, to only hear one side, so our government could keep putting our lives in danger and making everybody hate England for reasons only a few rich people will gain from, while making no attempt at a peace plan. Most people have no memory of politics than the last Tory propaganda headline they read.
I always knew most people are dumbed down from how so many people care about what over hyped and talentless celebs are doing. I knew the international bankers who run the USA and Britain had been trying to start a war against Russia for decades, with the hypocritical media information, because Putin and Russia Today news are only ones who remind our own people of how the USA and Britain sell arms to backward nations like Saudi Arabia, where women and other religions don't have full human rights. While we fund extremists to overthrow leaders like Assad in Syria, one of the few middle east nations with many religions that live together in peace, with ancient Christian communities who still speak Aramaic, the language from the time of Jesus.
Our media kept saying how Russia was evil because some of their states said there shouldn't be promotion of homosexuality to children. When the law against promotion of homosexuality to anybody in Britain was more severe. Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 in Britain stated that a local authority "shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality" or "promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship". Which was only repealed in 2003.
Also the Guardian newspaper has a lot of anti Putin, Russian journalists. You only have to see how easily led most people are from all the dumb British people who said they wanted to leave the EU as wanted less people here from Pakistan, as the media and politicians like Farage didn't bother to explain to them that the EU means Europe, and made them think it was about immigration from elsewhere, or about asylum.
It's only since the Ukraine crisis that it has hit me like a bolt at how dumbed down Britain is. People chanting Ukraine and flying Ukraine flags, while not questioning why any media with another point of view is banned, or why there's a promotion of punishing other Russian people who aren't connected to the government. I'm finding it really disturbing. That would be called racism in any other situation.
All most people remember about politics is the last tabloid propaganda headline they read. Who even knows we're more in danger from our own government's actions from making us a USA lapdog? Who remembers when the secret service whistle blower David Shayler told how Tories were using British money to fund Al Qaeda in Libya against Gaddafi? When British people were shot in Tunisia and blown up in Manchester by extremists who trained in Libya after Gaddafi was killed, what media reminded our people that our government helped cause that?
Who remembers Afghanistan wasn't run by extremists before the USA armed and trained the religious extremists in Afghanistan against Russia in the 80s? Then the USA didn't care what was going on in Afghanistan for years before 9/11, such as stories about ancient Buddhist statues being blown up and females banned from education.
The hippies in the sixties knew it and protest songs have been sung for hundreds of years. . . Unfortunately, we’re too dumb and too conditioned to do anything about, other than sing. . . We truly are pathetic. 😢
So true ..do nothing ever change
Much has changed, in medicine, support for mental health...
Well, nuclear apocalypse is quite a bit less imminent these days. So things have changed quite a bit.
Though I definitely get where you're coming from. On corruption and "culture war" front, things have gotten markedly worse of late... though the whole Satanic Panic thing was pretty damn crazy time too.
Such a great song r.i.p Terry
I was 7 years old when this released and I thought 'What the hell is this?' It's not until you're older that you truly appreciate some music!
RIP Terry, thanks for the music.
His lyrics to this song were definitely about how it is now. RIP Terry.
RIP the legendary Terry Hall!! 🙏🏻❤️😥
I haven’t been enamored with a song like this in a long time. Saw it on tv yesterday. Eerie as hell. I was walking to the beat when i went for a walk today.
More relevant than ever. RIP Terry.

RIP, Terry.
Always will be in my childhood memories.
Brilliant with age.
RIP , always loved this song
My dad's favourite song, thank you. Disturbingly prophetic song though...
The Specials were great and these guys are not too far behind that. I have not heard this song since the 1980's. Wow!
take this on board, it's primatively futurist, in fact it's so real, it's true, good night Mr. Hall, I'm gonna miss you man
I love this: how very prophetic? More-so now than ever!!!!
Yes,,
Yes they were all so talented love this band
Rest In Peace Terry Hall 😢❤
Should be the national anthem of the USA!
Indeed 😂
Rip terry lad! great memories from your music
Damn they got it spot on.
R.I.P Terry 🎶

RIP Terry the voice of my West Mids youth under Thatcher
That they have...
RIP Terry😢
goodbye beautiful boy 😔
Rip terry hall thanks for the wonderful music throughout my childhood ❤you will be missed
I did laugh !!!!!!!. I recently heard this song being played in the background by one of the protesters outside Downing Street during the challenge for the next Prime Minister. Great choice if you ask me. 😂
Nicely said
Music to our ears 👍 ah ahhh
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂brilliant
RIP Brother. Xx
This tune goes hard. Vibes for days
Unfortunately this song will never be aired on radio again because there’s a naughty word in it.
I salute you Terry, the music of my early teens is still better than anything today.
What word?
There isn’t ?
@@helensmith7596 it’s in the title!
Aren’t you up with the modern communism, the word lunatic is banned!
Obviously you have no clue whatsoever
Heard it on radio yesterday, you get this thing called a radio edit, in fact this video even uses it
What a brilliant man ,Terry hall so sad 🥺 such a big part of my youth fly high and the specials thank you 💗🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ fly high NEVER FORGOTTEN
RIP Terry Hall 😭
La primera vez que escuché esta canción me encantó de inmediato, rip Terry😓
RIP Terry Hall. Gone before his time.
From the 80s but relevant today😢
We will honour you prophecy as well we can ❤❤❤
I quite agree with you absolutely
A RUclips proposal that makes this song a completely new and overwhelming experience for me 😊.
My english teacher was playing this when I logged into class today… best way to come to english
You have a great teacher there.
@@ge2623 I really do, he’s beyond incredible, and by far the best teacher I’ve ever had. Love him to bits.
He started a dnd club btw.
This is the case all over the world these days
More and more of my childhood and teen years slipping away...
Off we go
Even terry hall knew what was to come
He knew!
Terribly missed by everyone at the Roller Disco Drill Hall Lincoln ( UK) RIP TERRY deepest condolences to your family, friends and bandmates and "ROCK ROYALTY"
This song should have been re released
Would make a great Christmas number one.
I feel a campaign coming on
It wouldnt fit the agenda
RIP you beautiful soul
Brilliant, one of my very favourite songs ever from the early '80's that will always resonate. We were spoilt for brilliant & politically inspired music e.g. (The Clash & Gang of Four) from England from this post punk era. I was gutted when i heard about Terry's passing & he can never be replaced. R.I.P.
Love FunBoy Three
i was sectioned 81 with schizophrenia , mental health had big stigma then...............love this tune..........
Looked up this song especially for
2022 🤪 life imitates Art ....
If you have read the story about the Australian swimmers and the veteran commentator, you'd understand why this song is so relevant in 2024. Years ahead of their time.
Reminds me of my current workplace
Hello. Oh for heaven's sake. Love it. Thank you.
RIP Terry Hall 💙💙💙
Mrs H ... Lunatics are yet to come.. You knew Terry before you left us that this country is fkd... Take me back to the 80's... What a era to be young...RIP lad..You and your band's gave us an awesome childhood/teenage years..GBNF... Two Tone..😉
Genius tune!
How true the words back then coming to fruition now.
forgot how good this sounded
_"The Lunatics Have Taken Over_ *The Studio"*
is how one journalist described this. However...
I think it is still brilliant. Those voices & rhythms!
RIP Terry... 💔
What a tune! ❤️
It was, and is, GENIUS
Take me back to my childhood
This song relates to today
Like you Say Terry love love R.I.P.
