Institutionalization

Genetics have to play a role, at least a little part
How did I become like this? That must have been my start
Never had the normal life, where anybody cared
Always did the crazy shit that no one else would dare
At some point along the way I lost my fucking mind
Grownups thought I’d get it back if I was in bind
Rehabs, workhouse, psych ward, jail …
None of those worked to any avail
Did months and months, a year and a half didn’t matter
Seemed that everywhere I went I just got badder and badder
Now here I am a grown ass woman, still acting like a kid
Need to learn to quit dicking around before I get me another bid
For now I’ll sit and figure out how to lose these county blues
Though at this point it doesn’t matter…
those fuckers downstairs got my shoes!
