I thought I was a lost cause
A project made to fail
Either I would go insane
Or find myself in jail

One out of two isn't bad
At least I can fly free
I am not a criminal
But there's psychiatry

I have schizophrenia
Don't feel sorry for me
Once I thought they'd lock me up
And throw away the key

I've been told to put my trust
In prescribed medication
How hard is it to swallow
Five pills through dedication?

It's not an exact science
A cure's yet to be found
When I'm displaying symptoms
I'm hard to be around

I've had many therapists
Not one has been a savior
All they seem to want to do
Is observe my behavior

Crazy is as crazy does
That's their philosophy
Take five pills and feel better
That is psychiatry

Take more pills and see what works
The lab rat must be me
Where's the nearest pharmacy?
I hate psychiatry
