REHAB By Tom Jensen
Sometimes I need a good talking to
To set my mind at ease
It's not always good for you
Doing just what you please
When the door is locked
You just need the right keys
Stop peaking through the keyhole
Get up off your knees
Just a glimpse of the whole
Will never do
With the door barred and chained
It's so hard to get through
Like a deer in headlights
Your feet stick like glue
Denial is just another lie
That you believe is true
Yeah...
I've been sedated
My head played with
Medicated
Regulated
And every word they said dictated
I've been questioned and I stated
That everything good I had I've traded
With every step I've walked been baited
A life like mine you begin to hate it
Well, the doctor's in
And he'll take your money
Then when you're not looking
He'll call you funny...
Names behind your back
The nurses are in on it I got a hunch
See their crooked smiles
While they're serving lunch....
Their white gowns
Should be striped with black
You gotta pay the bills
That'll pay for all the pills
They say will cure your ills
While they're raking in the mils
They locked him in the closet
And then they lost the key
Twenty years later
When they finally found it
They finally set him free
Though he looked much older
He looked okay to me
Though he acted much colder
Like we all expected him to be
Rehab - you never come out
The way you came in
Rehab - Get drunk off words
When they take your gin
Rehab - You'll never be the same
Rehab - you'll never go there again
When he gets home he has a drink
Passes out at the kitchen sink
Though his liver's fine his mind is bloated
Just one drink and his head exploded
Rehab - you never come out
The way you came in
Rehab - Get drunk off words
When they take your gin
Rehab - You'll never be the same
Rehab - you'll never go there again
