They take her to the doctor's
because Dad found something in her shoe
and parents don't know what on earth to do
they're at their wit's end

she tells the scary man
how many problems
and how much trouble
she could never be in

and he stares blankly while he writes it all down
as if she can't see his recording studio
behind the one-way glare

she breaks her own skin
while her hand's in her pocket
Dr. Crockter doesn't catch it
because he's masturbating in his
with one hand on his life
and the other on hers
he sells her a magic pill
a nice jail sentence will
break her destructive bars

she wants to steal his pen
and scar his careless face
mark the masquerading skin
but he's already got her pinned
where the wardens dress in white
and they unlock the cells
with buzzing fluorescent lights

you say "nurse, let me out"
instead of "Your Honor I am innocent"
but you are no more free
just less of a burden to mommy and daddy

you drool on the crisp linen
not your average Holiday Inn
and you lose each facet of your personality
with every passing dose of thorazine

and Dr. Crockter is losing too
because he's stealing hits that were meant for you
he's donating defective doctor sperm
so this nation can be just like him

as if we need more machismo fascists
and more ego trips with their jerk off germs
they sign the papers to quash any real humanity
under the washed up guise of "temporary insanity"

and when mom and dad finally get her out
they're tanned and smell like cocoa butter
while she's been starved inside out
yeah, her body's fatter but her spirit's gaunt
kaCHING! they've just bought a zombie to flaunt
