Awesomely dark humored and derisive song. The instrumentals and echo effects after the second verse make it all the more atmospheric to what the lyrics describe; sounding like wails and moans bouncing off cold walls or the walls of one's skull for being kept in a place and full of thorazine or some other drug when it might not be necessary... wanting to escape, even if it can only be into your etch a sketch...
'Dr B' seems to be Clifford Beers, who was institutionalized and at his horror to the terrible maltreatment of patients smuggled out letters to state officials, and then later once de-institutionalized and after having written an autobiographical account formed the "National Committee for Mental Hygiene". Hmm. Oh what a dream life would seem for the shoddy directors... if it hadn't been for that Dr. B. Indeed.
