Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All your two bit psychiatrists are givin' you electric shock
They say they let you live at home with mom and dad
Instead of mental hospitals
But every time you try to read a book
You couldn't get to page 17
'Cause you forgot where you were, so you couldn't even read
[Verse 2]
Don't you know they gonna, kill your sons?
Don't you know they gonna kill, kill your sons?
They gonna kill, kill your sons
Until they run, run, run, run away
[Verse 3]
Mom informed me on the phone
She didn't know what to do about dad
He took an axe and broke the table
Aren't you glad you're married?
And sister, she got married on the island
And her husband takes the train
He's big and he's fat and he doesn't even have a brain
[Verse 4]
They're gonna kill your sons
Don't you know they gonna kill, kill your sons?
Don't you know they gonna kill, kill your sons?
Until they run away
[Verse 5]
Creedmore treated me very good
But the Paine Whitney was even better
And when I flipped out on PHC, I was so sad I didn't even get a letter
All of the drugs that we took, it really was lots of fun
But when they shoot you up with Thorazine on crystal smoke
You choke like a son of a gun
[Verse 6]
Don't you know they gonna, kill your sons?
Don't you know they gonna kill, kill your sons?
Don't you know they gonna kill, kill your sons?
Until they run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
