i picked you up for a 30 minute drive to the psych ward
the patch on my shoulder says i am important
and you have to do what i say
the uniform says do what i say
the baker act says do what i say
a grown up man you are crying
say you weren’t trying to kill yourself
only trying to kill the pain of existing
you can’t pay your rent, your friends are on drugs
your family’s across the world and they are suffering
and the jobs you work are mind numbing
in order to work them we must numb your mind
with anti-depressants for your chemical imbalance
but you are not imbalanced, you are sane
in an insane world
i picked you up for a 30 minute drive to the psych ward
and if you aren’t crazy, well soon you surely will be
you said i asked more questions than the doctor ever did
and i seemed to care more
yet i am only your transport
and i have no say in what happens to you
but i can give you the code for the back door
to slip out of the psych ward
