Rehab Lyrics

For far too long the practice of psychiatry
Has prospered on mending society's wrong
To cure a freak who don't belong
It's all a bunch of liesRooted at shuffling addictions around
Distorting people's minds
Complicating from those divine
Tell me what's the problem, I have a cure for youThere's nothing a prescription can undo
You must sit and trust me, I can feel your pain
Correcting the lithium deficiency
In your brain with pillsYou're mad all the time
Sedated, now you'll be fine
Getting stoned, getting stoned'Cause I'm distorted from taking drugs
Designed to help me regain my mind
To rid the depression, I periodically endure
I'm not right, but was better than when I came hereThrough getting stoned
I perceive all the injections
The scars that remain
The needle tracks that stain the veinsRehab is a joke to me

A strung out junkie needs to be set free
Methadone clinics just won't help
How do you rehabilitate a serial killerWho longs to kill, but is addicted to brutal sex?
That's a sick addition in itself
How do you cure obesity?
A transient drunk? Anaclisis?Manic depressive psychosis?
Over-active sex drives?
Anorexia nervosa? Control freaks?
Self-destructive humans? World hunger?Living here in torment
It's disturbing
It's quite contagious
You'll diagnoseBorn deficient, comatose
I'm a special doctor
You don't know me
As long as I get my moneyI've got a degree In worldly nothings
Fine upstanding yuppie
But I care only for cash
For far too longAuthority made them strong
Rehabilitation does not work
Because crime is high
Rape has gone upSo has the tension
While psychiatrists get rich
Feeding on the nation's insecurites
Performing mental blasphemy as they pleaseA prescription will set you free or taint your soul
Will false hope
Rehab is for quitters
Who's right to sayWhat is wrong or right?
Desire consumes you are what you are
And no one can change that stupid fact
Molester or strung out on crackRehab can only change
Those who will be changed
It shifts the color of addiction
To something of the sameMaking the monkey go away
Replacing him with a chimp
Can't stop thinking
About those cigarettesCrawl beneath the skin
Like the man who tried to quit shooting after 25 years
Decided to put the needle down
And found he could no longer liveSo he tried a little bit
No longer exists
Death is the pain killer
