You want to take me to a doctor
To talk to me about my mind
To try to give directions to some places
That I don´t really want to find

Trouble in me is not related
To things that I might say or do
I´m really not that complicated
Your good doctor friend, he oughta talk to you

I notice that he can´t remember
Things that he never should forget
And why does he spend his evenings
Smoking them funny cigarettes?

I have a friend that knows your best friend
He goes some places where she goes
He said he saw y´all at a party
Sniffing white powder up your nose

You got the nerve to call me narrow-minded
‘Cause I´m not loose and indiscreet
But people lying down always get blinded

By people standing on their own two feet

Life is just a shadow
That I just can´t seem to find sometimes
But I guess I´ll make it
‘Cause I found out that it´s really in my mind

You shouldn´t take it too seriously
‘Cause it really ain´t gone´ last too long
You really only got two choices
You can lay down and be weak
Or you can stand up where you´re at
And still be strong

Tomorrow depends too much on today
And yesterday - all that gentleman is to you is gone
All you find out looking back

Is the fact that both of us was wrong
Both of us was wrong

You´re talking right to me
But you really ain´t saying a thang
You´re pouring muddy water on me
Trying to convince me it´s rain
You´re talking to me crazy
But you´re trying to make me feel insane

You´re like a Sunday family
Digging animals in a zoo
But while you´re looking at monkeys
Monkey´s looking dead at you
Two people getting done
Trying to figure out who´s doing who

If you´re throwing dirt at people

You got to get some dirt on you
I got to take a tone of lies
Just to get an ounce of truth from you
You´re like a man loving Jesus
That says he can´t stand a Jew

Get on down and play the dozens
Talk about four folks
From your mamma to your cousins
You down there
You know what I´m talking ‘bout
