Institutionalized
[00:04.58] Sometimes I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I want it to
[00:08.78] I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it
[00:12.79] And I take my time and it doesn't work out the way I want it to
[00:16.38] It's like I concentrate real hard and it doesn't work out
[00:19.82] Everything I do and everything I try never turns out
[00:22.93] It's like I need time to figure these things out
[00:25.90] But there's always someone there going
[00:27.19] Hey Mike, you know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately
[00:30.13] You know, maybe you should get away and maybe you should talk about it
[00:33.91] Maybe you'll feel a lot better
[00:34.93] And I go, No it's okay you know I'll figure it out
[00:37.54] Just leave me alone I'll figure it out
[00:39.68] You know I'm just working on it by myself
[00:41.74] And they go, Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know
[00:45.11] And you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it
[00:47.19] So why don't you talk about it?
[00:48.50] And I go, No I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself
[00:52.50] But they just keep bugging me
[00:54.03] They just keep bugging me, and it builds up inside
[00:56.97] You're gonna be institutionalized
[00:58.29] You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
[00:59.66] You won't have anyting to say
[01:01.00] They'll brainwash you until you see their way
[01:03.36] I'm not crazy - Institution
[01:05.68] You're the one that's crazy - Institution
[01:08.02] You're driving me crazy - Institution
[01:10.15] They stuck me in an institution
[01:11.52] Said it was the only solution
[01:12.90] To give me the needed professional help
[01:13.98] To protect me from the enemy, myself
[01:20.19] I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything
[01:24.10] But then again I was thinking about nothing
[01:25.96] And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there
[01:28.58] She called my name and I didn't hear her
[01:30.72] And then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE!
[01:32.56] And I go, What, what's the matter?
[01:34.15] She goes, What's the matter with you?
[01:35.67] I go, There's nothing wrong mom
[01:37.27] She's all, Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!
[01:39.59] I go, No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay
[01:41.90] I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a Pepsi
[01:44.30] She goes, No you're on drugs!
[01:46.40] I go, Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking
[01:48.79] She goes, No you're not thinking, you're on drugs!
[01:51.40] Normal people don't be acting that way!
[01:53.50] I go, Mom just get me a Pepsi, please
[01:55.63] All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
[01:58.97] All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
[02:03.47] Just a Pepsi
[02:04.52] They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
[02:06.13] Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
[02:07.43] Drug you up because they're lazy
[02:08.70] It's too much work to help a crazy
[02:11.09] I'm not crazy - Institution
[02:13.24] You're the one who's crazy - Institution
[02:15.38] You're driving me crazy - Institution
[02:17.74] They stuck me in an institution
[02:19.33] Said it was the only solution
[02:20.63] To give me the needed professional help
[02:21.96] To protect me from the enemy, myself
[02:27.66] I was sitting in my room when my mom and my dad came in
[02:30.60] And they pulled up a chair and they sat down
[02:32.78] They go, Mike we need to talk to you
[02:34.89] And I go, Okay what's the matter?
[02:37.00] They go, Me and your mom have been noticing lately that you've been having a lot of problems
[02:40.52] And you've been going off for no reason and we're afraid you're going to hurt somebody
[02:44.70] And we're afraid you're going to hurt yourself
[02:46.77] So we decided that it would be in you're best interest if we put you somewhere
[02:51.09] Where you could get the help that you need
[02:53.20] And I go, Wait, what are you talking about, WE decided!?
[02:57.73] MY best interests?! How do you know what MY best interest is?
[03:02.95] How can you say what MY best interest is? What are you trying to say, I'M crazy?
[03:09.58] When I went to YOUR schools, I went to YOUR churches
[03:13.89] I went to YOUR institutional learning facilities?! So how can you say I'M crazy?
[03:19.69] They say they're gonna fix my brain
[03:20.71] Alleviate my suffering and my pain
[03:22.05] But by the time they fix my head
[03:23.43] Mentally I'll be dead
[03:25.89] I'm not crazy - Institution
[03:28.03] You're the one who's crazy - Institution
[03:30.46] You're driving me crazy - Institution
[03:32.81] They stuck me in an institution
[03:34.16] Said it was the only solution
[03:35.45] To give me the needed professional help
[03:36.75] To protect me from the enemy, myself

[03:40.42] Doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyways
