Shock Treatment

(album: Back On The Streets - 1980)

Look in my eyes and tell me I'm not crazy
Too many shock treatments he's insane
Stow away my pills doctor don't be lazy
Stick him with your needles man he digs the pain
And I hit the consultation what a dream vacation
It doesn't matter even if it rains
Cause I didn't spend no money
He just admitted that he was deranged

But the doctor said I'm sorry son
It's time that you were leaving
Now pack up all your bags
Cause we need your bed this evening

Get it on
Oh get it on
Get it on
Get it on
Oh get it on
Get it on
Get it on

Oh no

Doctor don't you think that I'm much too aggressive
Better lock him up before he hurts someone
Face it I'm a schizophrenic manic depressive
Get him outta here he gonna screw things up
It's too late for me to change it
You'll have to call my agent
He worked so hard to get him booked in here
He's cancelled my other engagements
Looks like it's gonna be another bad year

Well you're really not that crazy man
You might as well admit it yeah
Now half the people in the world
should have themselves committed

Get it on
Oh get it on
Get it on
Get it on
Oh get it on
Get it on
Get it on

Shock Treatment!
Now I don't even remember my name
Oh what a shame that I lost all my brains

Shock Treatment
It's giving me the treatment
Give him shock treatment
Let's give him one more treatment
Give him back his brains
Give him back his gun
Get him outta here
Now he's gonna hurt someone
Shock Treatment
It's giving me the treatment
Give him shock treatment
Let's give him one more treatment
Tell it to the medic
It's happening one more time yeah
You know that you'll be another Frankenstein
