Down by the lake in Glendalough I wandered one warm day
A little old lady crossed my path, was in the month of May
She stopped to chat, I began to preach, her eyes were open wide
My words came fast, I stopped at last, feeling release inside.
She delivered me a warning on that fine morning
Her words would ring so true
For they locked me up, there was no key
That’s psychiatry for you!
Just yesterday I paid a visit to my psychiatric nurse
A lecture ensued, never good news, so I deliver this angry verse
Please excuse the words I use, I feel the need to curse
Fuck you ya cunt, I’ve done my time & I’d like to be through with you
A thorough grilling in my ears, ringing through & through!
Dressed as a beaver, ever so eager
Attending Church like a true believer
Signs, she says, that I’m losing my mind
Nothing washes with her.
Offering me meds that I don’t want & neither do I need
That Goddamned Haliperidol is Satan sowing his seed!
Otherwise known as Serenace, yes that is the brand
Fucks with me so physically, a treatment I can’t stand!
Crippled, dribbling, drooling & numb, the mess it leaves me in
There’s no doubt in my mind at all, a substance made of sin!
So Bless me Lord & give me strength
I must preserve my freedom
To strike down psychiatric ‘care’
So be it, bring on Your Kingdom!
