Making nonsense of the system
They knew that the voices told me what to do
so they punished me and
threw away the key,
the voices had already let me know that
I should go and willingly
to Bellevue Chase Infirmary
and that's the way to work the charm
a couple ofΒ voices
a bit of self harm
an addiction or two.
I told them
they knew
because they
have to be right
so we spin them a yarn
which makes a bed for the night.
Then a titch of therapy
let them see
you see what's wrong
and before too long
they let you free
see
I knew they never threw away the key.
