Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized Lyrics

Send "Institutionalized" ringtone to your cell

Sometimes I try to do things

And it just doesn't work out the way I want it to.

It's like I try hard to do it

And I get real frustrated.

And I take my time

But it just doesn't work out the way I want it to.

It's like I concentrate on it real hard

But it just doesn't work out.

And everything I do and everything I try

It never turns out!

It's like I need time to figure these things out.

There's always someone there going

"Hey Mike you know

We've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately you

Know.

You should maybe get away

You'd feel a lot better."

And like maybe you should talk about it

Just leave me alone I'll figure it out you know.

I go "No it's okay you know I'll figure it out.

And they go "Well you know if you wanna talk about it

I'm just working on myself."

I'll be here ya know

And you'll probably feel a lot better if ya talked about it

So why don'tcha talk about it?!"

I go "No! I don't want to I'm okay! I'll figure it out myself!"

But they just keep buggin' me

They just keep buggin' me

And it builds up inside!

So you're gonna be institutionalized

You won't have any say

You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes

They'll brainwash you until you see their way

I'm not crazy - Institution

You're the one who's crazy - Institution

You're driving me crazy - Institution

They stuck me in an institution

Said it was the only solution

To protect me from the enemy myself

To give me the needed professional help

Uh - I was in my room

But then again I was thinking about nothing.

And I was just like staring at the wall thinking 'bout everything

And then my Mom came in

And I didn't even know she was there.

She called my name

But I didn't hear her.

Then she started screaming "Mike Mike!"

And I go "What? What's the matter?"

She goes "What's the matter with you?!"

I go "There's nothin' wrong Mom."

She goes "Don't tell me that you're on drugs!"

I go "No Mom I'm not on drugs.

Why don't ya give me a Pepsi?"

I'm okay I'm just thinking you know.

I go "Mom I'm okay I'm just thinking."

She goes "No you're on drugs!"

Normal people don't act in that way!"

She goes "No you're not thinking you're on drugs!

All I want is a Pepsi."

I go "Mom just give me a Pepsi please

Just one Pepsi!

And she wouldn't give it to me!

And she wouldn't give it to me!

All I wanted was a Pepsi!

Just a Pepsi!

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves

Tied around your 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 - Institution

You're the one who's crazy - Institution

You're driving me crazy - Institution

They stuck me in an institution

To give me the needed professional help

Said it was the only solution

To protect me from the enemy myself

I was sitting in my room.

My Mom and my Dad came in.

So they pull up a chair and they sat down.

They go "Mike we need to talk to you."

And I go "Okay what's the matter?"

They go "Me and your Mom

We've been noticing lately you've been having a lot of problems

And you've been going off for no reason.

And we're afraid you're gonna hurt somebody

We're afraid 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 go "Wait! What are ya talking about?!

We decided?!

My best interest?!

How can you say what my best interest is!

And what are ya trying ta say I'm crazy?!

How do you know what my best interest is!

When I went to your schools!

I went to your churches!

I went to your institutional learning facilities!

So how can ya say I'm crazy?!

They say they're gonna fix my brain

But by the time they fix my head

Alleviate my suffering and my pain

Mentally I'll be dead

Chorus (two verses):

I'm not crazy - Institution

You're the one who's crazy - Institution

You're driving me crazy - Institution

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

...Doesn't matter I'll probably get hit by a car anyway
