[Intro: Tom Skid] "Life's kinda getting outta control, I think I don't know if you agree [?] You know, it's like what, like what it is Is I know you heard the word a thousand times, "it's a rat race" You know, I went through the contortions of Hell I have alcoholic seizures Wind up in the hospital and everything else Now I'm sick and I'm shaking like a leaf It was like silly putty and they threw him in the car and beat him in the patty wagon and beat him to death I hit one of those I and knocked the front wheel off into outer space And I kinda got angry myself and I said, "Hahah, have a lot of guns." I like salad, I just ate a nice salad Baked potato and some cream cheese and chives You know, I just, I like to eat a salad when you have something in mind Hahahahah." [Verse 1] Voices inside my head are making me go mad Now I'm afraid to sleep from nightmares that I've had I feel I'm on the edge, I need some kind of cure Now I've gone and killed someone, I'm mentally disturbed [Chorus] They can't keep me locked away My psychiatrist says I'm okay They think that they've got me trained But I know I'm really deranged [Verse 2] Arrested for murder, my case comes to trial Prosecution's accusing me of things sick and vile I admit I'm guilty, but plead insanity Six months at Bellevue, then I'm walking free [Chorus] They can't keep me locked away My psychiatrist says I'm okay They think that they've got me trained But I know I'm really deranged [Guitar Solos: Gary Holt / Rick Hunolt] [Verse 3] They want to calm me down so they feed me Thorazine It doesn't make me calmer, it only makes me mean Now they let me loose, back in society With some psychiatric help and lobotomy But I've got them fooled, I'm playing at their game I'm more psycho than before, I don't even know my name I know they should have killed me when they had the chance But the system let me off with a little song and dance
