INSTITUTIONALIZED song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

when I was just a boy
I smashed up all my toys
I coughed up all my guts
I was just plain nuts

I cut my arms and legs
they said I must be saved
they said I'm full of rage
and threw me in a cage

all they want is what's best for me
only temporarily
until he gets socialized
the kid oughta be institution
INSTITUTIONALIZED !

institutionalized
there's no way out
institutionalized
you better shut your mouth
I'm not really inside my brain
I think I might be insane
they keep trying to make me rationalize
but I been institutionalized

they wanna save my soul
they say I'm outta control
they want to lock me up
and throw away the key

institutionalized
threat to society
pumped me full of drugs
what the f*** are you doing to me?

there's nothing wrong inside my brain
I'm not really insane
they keep trying to make me rationalize
but I been
INSTITUTIONALIZED !

institutionalized
it seems there's no way out
they buried me in lies
and there's no way out

institutionalized
and there's no way out
institutionalized
and there's no f***ing doubt
no f***ing doubt !!!
