Sometimes I try to do things, and it just don`t turn out the way I wanted to
and I get real frustrated, it`s like, I take my time and I try real hard, but
no matter what I do and no matter what I try it never works out, it`s like I
concentrate on it real hard, but it never works out, it`s like I need some
time to figure these things out, but there`s always someone there going:
- Hey Mike, you know, we been noticing you`ve been having alot of problems
lately, you know, and like maybe you should talk about it, you`d feel alot
better.
And I go:
- No, it`s ok, I now have some problems, I`ll figure it out myself, just
leave me alone I`ll figure it out.
And they go:
- Why don`t you talk about it, you`ll feel alot better?
And I go:
- No, I don`t want to, just leave me alone, I`ll figure it out myself!
And they keep on bugging me and it builds up inside, it builds up inside...
So you`re gonna be institutionalized
You`ll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won`t have any say
They`ll brainwash you until you see their way
I`m not crazy - institutionalized
You`re the one who`s crazy - institutionalized
You`re driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself
I was sitting in my room, and I was like staring at the walls thinking about
everything but then again I was thinking about nothing, and then my mom came
in and I didn`t notice she was there and she calls my name and I didn`t hear
her and then she started screaming:
- Mike, Mike!
And I go:
- What, what`s the matter?
She goes:
- What`s the matter with you?
I say:
- Nothing mom.
She goes:
- Don`t tell me nothing, you`re on drugs!
I go:
- No mom, I`m not on drugs, I`m ok, I`m just thinking, you know, why don`t
you get me a Pepsi?
She goes:
- No, you`re on drugs, you`re crazy, normal people won`t be acting that way!
I go:
- Mom, I`m all right, I`m just thinking, you know, so why don`t you, like
give me a Pepsi?
And she goes:
- No, you`re crazy!
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn`t give it to me,
just one Pepsi.
They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you`re back, you`re treated like thieves
Drug you up because they`re lazy
It`s too much work to help a crazy
I`m not crazy - institutionalized
You`re the one who`s crazy - institutionalized
You`re driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself
I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a
chair and they sat down, they go:
- Mike, we need to talk to you.
And I said:
- Okay, what`s the matter?
They go:
- Well me and your mom, we been noticing lately you`ve been having alot of
problems, and you haven`t been acting like yourself, and we`re afraid that
you`re going to hurt somebody, and we`re afraid that you`re gonna hurt
yourself, so we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put
you somewhere where you could get the help that you need...
And I said:
- Wait, what are we talking about?! We decided?! My best interest?! How can
you know, how can you say what my best interest is? What are you trying to
say? I`m crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I
went to your institutional learning facilities. So how can you say that I`m
crazy?
They say they`re gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my head
Mentally I`ll be dead
I`m not crazy - institutionalized
You`re the one who`s crazy - institutionalized
You`re driving me crazy - institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself
It doesn`t matter, the insurance money`s about to run out anyhow.
Hahaha
