Am I the one that's going crazy
I'm so tired of masquerading
Want to pretend to be so well adjusted
Maybe it's just me and I'm disgusted

I need a room at a mental penitentiary
So lock me up with maximum security
The doctors say that they don't know what's wrong with me
So strap me down it's time for my lobotomy

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The doctors say that I'll be getting on real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

One little minute seems to last a lifetime
I'm staring at the ceiling even though you're blind
We all pretend to be some complicated
You and me just maybe dislocated (dislocated)

I need a room at a mental penitentiary
So lock me up with maximum security
The doctors say that they don't know what's wrong with me
So strap me down its time for my lobotomy

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The doctors say that I'll be getting on real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

The doctors say
The doctors say that I'm okay
The doctors changed their minds
And now I'm here to stay

Sorry maybe
I'm not crazy
I'm gonna admit maybe
You're not soy loco

The doctors say that I'll be getting out real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

The doctors say that I'm not crazy afterall
The doctors say take two of these and give me a call

    I heard this in the background of some beverage commercial, I first thought they said "I'm soo tired of masturbating" but figured out it was masquerading. Haven't heard the whole song yet.

    Does this song remind anyone else of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"? I recently just read the book then saw the movie for the first time, and since then, I can't not associate this song with the book when I hear it.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
