Sometimes I try to do things but it just doesn't work out the way I want it to, and I get real frustrated and then like I try hard to do it, and I like, 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, 당신 know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately, 당신 know? 당신 need to maybe get away. And like, maybe 당신 should talk about it, you'll feel a lot better.” And I'm all like “oh, nah, it's ok, 당신 know. I'll figure it out. Just leave me alone, I'll figure it out, 당신 know? I'm just working on it 의해 myself.” And they go “well, 당신 know, if 당신 wanna talk about it, I'll be here, 당신 know? And you'll probably feel a lot better if 당신 talk about it. So why don't 당신 talk about it?” I go “no, I don't want to! I'm ok. 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 institutionalized.
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes.
당신 won't have anything to say.
They'll brainwash 당신 until 당신 see their way.
I'm not crazy - INSTITUTION!!!
You're the one that'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.
I was in my room and I was just like staring at the 벽 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 and 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.” Shes all “don't tell me that! You're on drugs!” I go “no mom, I'm not on drugs. I'm ok, I'm just thinking, 당신 know? Why don't 당신 get me a Pepsi?” She goes “No! You're on drugs!” I go “mom, I'm ok. I'm just thinking.” She goes “No! You're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't be 연기 that way!” I go “mom, just get me a Pepsi! Please, all I want is 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 당신 a white 셔츠 with long sleeves!
Tied around your back, you're treated like thieves!
Drug 당신 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,

I'm sitting in my room, when 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 “ok, what's the matter?” They go “me and your mom, we've noticed that lately you've been having a lot of problems, and you've been going off for no reason, and we're afraid you're going to hurt somebody, and we're afraid you're going to hurt yourself. So we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put 당신 somewhere where 당신 could get the help that 당신 need.” And I go “wait, what are 당신 talking about, WE decided? MY best interests? How do 당신 know what MY best interest is? How can 당신 say what MY best interest is? What are 당신 trying to say? I'M crazy? When I went to YOUR schools, I went to YOUR churches, I went to YOUR institutional learning facilities? So how can 당신 say I'M crazy?”
They say they're gonna fix my brain.
Alleviate my suffering and my pain.
But 의해 the time they fix my head,
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,

To give me the needed professional help, to protect me from the enemy, myself.
Doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit 의해 a car anyways.
