Life Prescription (Stay Sober, And Scream)
Doctor,
You say it's issues with self esteem,
You say I gotta let off some steam,
Stay sober,
And scream,
Before it's over,
You say, I gotta let it all out,
You say, learn what it's about,
Empty out those bags,
Stored in my mind,
Without drugs or fags,
And leave the past behind.
Doctor,
It's easy for you to say,
Live your life this way or that way,
I'd love to, don't you think?
So, send me to another shrink,
Even they won't be able to stand the stink,
Of foul smelling hurt and pain,
Inside the darkest depths of my brain,
It's black,
And cold,
And damp,
It'll hold them in a clamp,
And squeeze them,
And squish them,
'Til they can't stand it no more,
Like what it did to me.
