[The movie is about how schizophrenia ruins people's lives.]

A Beautiful Mind

The soldier’s in the corner.

The girl plays on the floor.

My best friend’s in the mirror.

He’s asking me for more.

I don’t know who to turn to

Or what my life is for.

And I don’t know what I hope to find

But the product of a beautiful mind.

 

I know it’s just a movie.

I saw it yesterday.

And then I read the paper

And I don’t know what to say.

We’re on the brink of something that can blow us all away.

Is it power that makes the world blind,

Or the product of a beautiful mind?

 

Can someone clearly tell me where insanity begins?

Is it wrapping the truth in a flag with the proper dose of spin?

Is it killing in the name of God?

Making sure a loser wins?

The watch spring can snap and unwind

In the time of a beautiful mind.

 

Now the soldier’s in the White House

And the children go to war.

And our friends are on the TV

Justifying what it’s for.

Delusional relationships sponsored by the corporate store

And the fate of all mankind

Brought to you by a beautiful mind.

 

Can someone clearly tell me where insanity begins?

Is it wrapping the truth in a flag with the proper dose of spin?

Is it killing in the name of God?

Making sure a loser wins?

The watch spring can snap and unwind

In the time of a beautiful mind.

Yes, the watch spring can snap and you'll find

The result of a beautiful mind.
