Bob often writes 'discuss'.

All the world is a little queer (as in mad/insane)
Except thee and me
And offtimes I am not shure about Thee.

The insane ones are the ones who think they're 'normal'.

Bob, you probably know this as well as I do . . . the definitons, the descriptions of what constitutes insanity (or any other forms of deviance) are written and encoded by those persons in society who have the Power to do so.
Those who are in power, set the rules and set the parameters which describe apparently pathological deviance.
(and equally, apparently pathological compliance with an obviously insane System?)

Those who are in Power set the norms; you'd be mad to think it was any other way. 😉

The general rule is, if they disagree with you they are insane 🙂

sanity she hides from me and i can't find her anywhere
reality is lost to me just out of reach up in the air
theres clarity in conformity cause no one knows what lies beound
simplicity and complexity like the layers in a frozen pond
when you turn the page can you see the change as nothing ever stays the same
aint it such a shame tell me whos to blame as we all go up in flames
sanity still hides from me i've been searching for many days
no where on a planet that lies in ruins think it's somewhere in the flames

No, you have it wrong. Since the people in power set the norms, if we disagree with them then we are insane. (at least, that's their story)
So if you believe a person turn water into wine, or believe in a talking donkey or snake or believe a person born of a virgin you're sane.
If you believe Elvis is still alive, you're insane.
Is that the gist of what you said? If enough people believe it, you're no longer insane?
