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 want to 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 going to be institutionalized
You won't have any say
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
They'll brainwash you until you see it their way
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 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 nothing 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!"
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 pulled 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 it would be in your best interest
If we out you somewhere
Where you could get the help you need."
And I go, "Wait! What are ya talking about?!
We decided?!
My best interest?!
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
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
And it just doesn't work out the way I want it to.
