Hahahahahahahaha
Ay, ay, ay
(We are the Trolls)
Crazy, that's how it goes (we are the Trolls)
Millions of people livin' as foes (we are the Trolls)
Music has kept us apart (we are the Trolls)
No spats, no tiffs, no fighting
When everyone's the same
We're goin' off the rails on a crazy train
(We are the Trolls)
(We are the Trolls)
I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools (we are the Trolls)
I've watched all the dropouts who make their own rules (we are the Trolls)
One person conditioned to rule and control (we are the Trolls)
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screamin'
Drivin' me insane
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are goin' wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train
Yeah
The lyrics of Rachel Bloom's "Crazy Train" take a critique on society and how it tends to divide people against each other. The song starts with the announcement to board the train, and then the Trolls introduce themselves as the ones who are crazy. The repetition of the line 'We are the Trolls' gives a sense of unity and purpose to the Trolls' cause. They declare that it is the hard rock music that can bring everyone together.
The second verse of the song makes a direct attack on established institutions such as religion and authorities that manipulate and control people. The media is presented as an enabler for the conditioning of people to follow the rules imposed by society. The Trolls call for unity and a change in the status quo. They declare that they are going off the rails on a crazy train and want everyone to join them.
The song is a call to action to reject societal norms and embrace chaos and craziness as a way of challenging power structures. The sense of rebellion and the desire for a different social order permeate the lyrics of the song, which are embodied in the guitar riffs and the hard rock sound that accompany them.

the good version of crazy train
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Let's go
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words, yeah
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something' that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Fun Fact:
The original lyrics are “Maybe it’s not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate.”
Coincidentally, this song is by Ozzy Osborne who voiced Barb’s dad, and Barb’s dad is the most chill and open-minded rock troll who doesn’t hate any music...
