INSTITUTIONALIZED

SOMETIMES I TRY TO DO THINGS
AND IT JUST DOESN'T WORK OUT THE WAY I WANTED TO.
AND I GET REAL FRUSTRATED AND I TRY HARD TO DO IT
AND I LIKE, TAKE MY TIME
AND IT DOESN'T WORK OUT THE WAY I WANTED TO.
IT'S LIKE, I CONCENTRATE ON REAL HARD BUT IT 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
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE THERE GOING, 'HEY, PRES,
YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN NOTICING
YOU'VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS LATELY'
'YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD, MAYBE, GET AWAY
AND LIKE, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT IT, YOU'LL FEEL A LOT BETTER'
AND I GO, 'NO, IT'S OKAY, YOU KNOW I'LL FIGURE IT OUT
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE I'LL FIGURE IT OUT
YOU KNOW I'LL JUST WORK IT OUT MYSELF'
AND THEY GO, 'WELL YOU KNOW IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT
I'LL BE HERE YOU KNOW AND YOU'LL PROBABLY FEEL A LOT BETTER
IF YOU TALKED ABOUT IT, SO WHY DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT IT'
I GO, 'NO, I DON'T WANT TO I'M OKAY, I'LL FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF'
AND THEY JUST KEEP BUGGING ME AND THEY JUST KEEP BUGGING ME
AND IT BUILDS UP INSIDE

I'M NOT CRAZY
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S CRAZY
I'M NOT CRAZY
YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY

I WAS IN MY ROOM, AND I WAS JUST LIKE, STARING AT THE WALLS 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
THEN SHE STARTED SCREAMING, "PRES! PRES!"
AND I GO, "WHAT? WHAT'S THE MATTER?"
SHE GOES, "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?"
I GO, "THERE'S NOTHING WRONG MOM"
SHE GOES, "DON'T TELL ME THAT, YOU'RE ON DRUGS!"
I GO, "NO MOM, I'M NOT ON DRUGS, I'M OKAY
I'M JUST THINKING, YOU KNOW?
WHY DON'T YOU GET ME A PEPSI?"
SHE GOES, "NO! YOU'RE ON DRUGS!"
I GO, "MOM, I'M OKAY, I'M JUST THINKING"
AND SHE GOES, "NO! YOU'RE NOT THINKING YOU'RE ON DRUGS!
NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T ACT THAT WAY!"
I GO, "MOM, JUST GET ME A PEPSI, PLEASE? ALL I WANT'S 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!

I'M NOT CRAZY
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S CRAZY
I'M NOT CRAZY
YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY

I'M SITTING IN MY ROOM, AND MY MOM AND MY SISTER CAME IN
THEY PULLED UP A CHAIR AND THEY SAT DOWN
THEY GO, "PRESTON, WE NEED TO TALK TO YOU"
AND I GO, "OKAY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?"
THEY GO, "ME AND YOUR MOM
WE'VE BEEN NOTICING LATELY YOU'VE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS
AND YOU'VE BEEN GOING OFF FOR NO REASON
AND WE'RE AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA HURT SOMEBODY
AND WE'RE AFRAID YOU'RE GONNA HURT YOURSELF,
SO WE DECIDED THAT IT WOULD BE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST
IF WE PUT YOU IN A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD GET THE HELP THAT YOU NEED"
AND I GO, "WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WE DECIDED?! MY BEST INTEREST?!
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT MY BEST INTEREST IS?
HOW CAN YOU SAY WHAT MY BEST INTEREST IS?
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY, I'M CRAZY?!
WHEN I WENT TO YOUR SCHOOLS
I WENT TO YOUR MALLS
I WENT TO YOUR INSTITUTIONAL SHOPPING FACILITIES!
SO HOW CAN YOU SAY I'M CRAZY?!

I'M NOT CRAZY
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S CRAZY
I'M NOT CRAZY
YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY
