Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized Edit

All I wanted was a Pepsi

All I wanted was a Pepsi

Alleviate my suffering and my pain

And everything I do and everything I try

And I didn't notice she was there

And I go: No, it's ok, you know

And I go: Okay, what's the matter?

And I go: What, what's the matter?

And I like, take my time

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

And like, I try hard to do it

And like, maybe you should talk about it and you'll feel a lot better

And she called my name and I didn't hear her

And she called my name and I didn't hear her

And she wouldn't give it to me!

And then my mom came in

And then she started screaming: Mike, Mike!

And they go: Well, you know

And they pulled up a chair and they sat down

And we're afraid you're going to hurt somebody

And we're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself

And you should maybe get away

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

But it just doesn't work out

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

But then again I was thinking about nothing

But there's always someone there going:

How can you say what MY best interest is?!

How do you know what MY best interest is?!

I go: Mom, I'm okay, I'm just thinking

I go: Mom, just get me a Pepsi, please

I go: No, I don't want to

I go: There's nothing wrong, mom

I went to YOUR churches

I went to YOUR institutional learning facilities?!

I'll be here, you know

I'll figure it out myself!

I'll figure it out, you know

I'm not crazy

I'm not crazy

I'm ok, I'm just thinking, you know

If we put you somewhere where you could get the help that you need.

If you wanna talk about it

Institutionalized

Institutionalized

Institutionalized

Institutionalized

It doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyway.

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

It's too much work to help a crazy

Mentally I'll be dead

MY best interest?!

Said it was the only solution

Said it was the only solution

Said it was the only solution

She goes: Don't tell me that!

So you're gonna be institutionalized

Sometimes I try to do things

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves

They go: Me and your mom

They go: Mike, we need to talk to you.

They just keep bugging me

They say they're gonna fix my brain

They stick me in an institution

They stick me in an institution

They stick me in an institution

They'll brainwash you until you see their way

To protect me from the enemy, myself

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

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

What are you trying to say?

When I went to YOUR schools

Why don't you get me a Pepsi?

You won't have any say

You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes

You're driving me crazy

You're the one that's crazy

You're the one who's crazy

You're treated like thieves
