black velvet flag - institutionalized lyrics

[intro]
thank you. this next one is a little something by suicidal tendencies. this is gonna be our smash hit single, which is gonna buy matching outfits for the whole band!

[verse 1]
sometimes i try to do things and they just doesn’t turn out the way i want them to
and i get real frustrated, cause i take my time and i try hard, but no matter what i do, and no matter what i try, things don’t work out, and i take my time, and i concentrate real hard but, you know, things don’t work out
and there’s always someone there going, “hey fred, you know, we’ve been noticing you’ve been having a lot of problems lately, would you like to talk about it?
you know, you’ll feel a lot better”
i go, “no that’s okay, you know, i’m having some problems, i’ll figure it out, you know? if you just leave me alone, hey, maybe i’ll figure it out, you know?
but then they go, “fred, why don’t you talk about it? you’ll feel a lot better!”
and i go, “no i don’t want to talk about it, just leave me alone, you know?”
but they keep bugging me, so it builds up inside, it builds up inside, it builds up inside…

[chorus]
i’m not crazy!
you’re the one that’s crazy!
you’re driving me crazy!

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

[verse 2]
so i’m sittin’ in my room, staring at the walls thinking about everything but then again i was thinking about nothing
and my mom came in, and i didn’t even know she was there
and she called my name and i didn’t hear her
then she started screaming, “fred, fred!”
and i go, “what? what’s the matter, mom?”
she goes, “what’s the matter with you?”
i go, “nothing mom, i’m okay, you know?”
she goes, “don’t tell me nothing, you’re on drugs!”
i go, “no mom, i’m not on drugs, i’m okay, you know, i’m just thinking, you know? so like, why don’t you get me a pepsi?”
she goes, “no! you’re on drugs! oh, wait a minute, you’re crazy! you know, normal people don’t be acting that way!”
i go, “no mom, i’m fine, you know, so like, you know, why don’t you get me a pepsi, you know?”
and she wouldn’t give it to me
just one pepsi
all i wanted was a pepsi
just one pepsi!

[chorus]
i’m not crazy!
you’re the one that’s crazy!
you’re driving me crazy!

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

[verse 3]
now i’m sittin’ in my room when my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a chair and they sat down and they said, “fred, we need to talk to you.”
i go, “hmm, okay, about what?”
they go, “well fred, we’ve been noticing, you’ve been having a lot of problems lately, and you haven’t been acting like yourself
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 somewhere you could get the help that you need.”
i go, “woah, wait a minute, what are we talkin’ about here?
we decided? my best interest?
how could you know?
how could you say what my best interest is?
what are you trying to say, you’re 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 what are you trying to say here, you’re trying to say that i’m crazy?

[chorus]
i’m not crazy!
you’re the one that’s crazy!
you’re driving me crazy!

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 not crazy!
you’re the one that’s crazy!
you’re driving me crazy!

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

[outro]
thank you
