institutionalized - amanda palmer & the grand theft orchestra lyrics

Loading...

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 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, and like, maybe you should talk about it you’ll feel a lot 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 want to talk about it
i’ll be here, you know, and you’ll probably feel a lot 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 inst-tutionalized
you’ll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
you won’t have any say
they’ll brainwash you until you see their way

i’m not crazy!-inst-tutionalized
you’re the one that’s crazy!-inst-tutionalized
you’re driving me crazy!-inst-tutionalized

they stuck me in an inst-tution
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?”
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, i’m okay, i’m just thinking, you know?
why don’t you get me a pepsi?”
she goes, “no! you’re on drugs!”
i go, “mom, i’m okay, i’m just thinking”
and she goes, “no! you’re not thinking you’re on drugs! normal people don’t act that way!”
i go, “mom, just get me a pepsi, please? all i want’s a pepsi”
and she wouldn’t give it to me, all i wanted was a pepsi
just one pepsi, and she wouldn’t give it to me, 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!-inst-tutionalized
you’re the one that’s crazy!-inst-tutionalized
you’re driving me crazy!-inst-tutionalized

they stuck me in an inst-tution
said it was the only solution
to give me the needed professional help
to protect from the enemy myself

i’m sitting in my room, and my mom and my dad came in
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
and we’re afraid you’re gonna hurt yourself
so we decided that it would be in your best interest
if we put you in a place where you could get the help that you need”
and i go, “wait! what are you talking about?
we decided?! my best interest?! how do you know what my best interest is?
how can you say what my best interest is?
what are you trying to say, i’m crazy?!
when i went to your schools
i went to your churches, i went to your inst-tutional learning facilities!
so how can you say i’m crazy?!

they say they’re gonna fix my brain
alleviate my suffering and my pain
but by the time they fix my head
mentally i’ll be dead

i’m not crazy!-inst-tutionalized
you’re the one that’s crazy!-inst-tutionalized
you’re driving me crazy!-inst-tutionalized

they stuck me in an inst-tution
said it was the only solution
to give me the needed professional help
to protect from the enemy myself

it doesn’t matter i’ll probably get hit by a car anyway
