Institutionalized

Suicidal Tendencies

Sometimes I try to do things

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

And I get real frustrated, and like I try hard to do it, 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

But theres always someone there going, "Hey Mike, you know, we've been noticing you've been having alot of problems lately, you know? You should maybe get away, and like, maybe you should talk about it you'll feel alot better"

And I go, "No it's okay, you know, I'll figure it out, just leave me alone, I'll figure it out, you know? I'm just working on myself"

They go, "Well you know, if you wanna talk about it, I'll be here, you know, and you'll probably feel alot better if you talk about it. So why don't you talk about it?"

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

But they just keep bugging me, they just keep bugging me and 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



CHORUS:

I'm not crazy!-Institutionalized

Your the one that's crazy!-Institutionalized

Your 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 from the enemy myself



I was in my room, and I was just 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 even know she was there

She called my name and 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?"
