Suicidal Tendencies – Institutionalized Lyrics 18 years ago
JUST ONE PEPSI!

ahem....

I'm torn between whose side I want to be on.

The quote "I was like staring at the walls thinking about everything, but then again I was thinking about nothing" hints that he may, indeed, be stoned. And then he blows up over a pepsi, to distract from the situation at hand. Later, he points out to his parents, "I went to YOUR schools, I went to YOUR churches, I went to YOUR institutional learning facilities. So how can you say I'M crazy?" As if, it's not his fault he turned out the way he did, and his parents are being hypocritical.

Yet, he sheds the most insight during the parts that are hardly audible - the ones right before the choruses (best parts):

"So you're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won't have any say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way"

"They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy"

"They say they're gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my head
Mentally I'll be dead"

This shows that he is capable of thinking for himself. He is determinded that he just an individual. To lock him up in an institution would rob him of his uniqueness and way of thinking.

Is he crazy? Others may think so, but in his head, he's not.

Big D and the Kids Table – Noise Complaint Lyrics 18 years ago
I'm not hip to his lingo. What exactly do these phrases mean?

"Frigging in the rigging
Yeah there's smoggin' in my noggin'
We're all playing back seat bingo"

This is one of the best protest songs I have ever heard, and I agree with all that he has to say.

Enough is enough!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

FOR A THOUGHT: If the roles were reversed and the guy told the girl to get lost and pleasure herself, do you think this song would be socially acceptable? I don't.

The Rocket Summer – Brat Pack Lyrics 19 years ago
Doesn't this sound slightly like a showtune?

And, just for clarification, can someone please tell me what a "brat pack" is?
