I thought that song was about masturbation.

Rob Instigator · 09.26.2006, 09:26 AM

No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a Psyclone Ranger
Everyone

So, let me see if I've got this straight. You are saying that you know better off the top of your head than a wikipedia listing that was researched fairly painstakingly. Was that or was that not your meaning?

Why no songs about autism

bucklebone · 09.26.2006, 12:32 PM

Ramones Songs about Mental Illness:

Go Mental
Psycho Therapy
I Wanna Be Well
Teenage Lobotomy
You Sound Like You're Sick
I Wanna Be Sedated

Probably more, I'll think about it and post later...

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 09.26.2006, 02:21 PM

I agree that the list is rather stupid.

It irritates me that people can just reduce the meaning of a song two a few words: "mental illness", "drugs", "sex." Like Pop/Bowie's Chinal Girl. It is about many things.

songs about mental illness

Take me to the Specialist - dead milkmen
I like to scream
I like to yell
That's 'cause I'm sick
And I need help
The specialist won't hurt me
He's not like the nuns
He's got a lot of pretty pills
I think I'll take some yellow ones
Take me to the specialist

I know that I'm crazy
I know that I'm nuts
But at least I admit it
And I think that takes some guts
The specialist doesn't care
What the voices say
He's got a lot of pretty pills
To make the voices go away
Take me to the specialist

- Mr. Huberty
- Yes, God?
- You wouldn't happen to have any power toools?
(psychopathic laughter)

And if I'm hopeless
Well, that's the breaks
The cookie crumbles
The loony shakes
The specialist can see it
From my point of view
He understands me
'Cause he hears voices too
Take me to the specialist (x4)

I hear weasels! (x10)

Hey you kids! Cut that crap out! Hey come back here! I know who your parents
are. Wouldn't do this if Nixon was in the White House. C'mon, I'm the walrus
dammit!

WELCOME TO THE DUST WARD - FEAR
welcome to the dust ward
brain damaged but it's only permanent
and i hang out in the day room
with a strait jacket set
with a strait jacket set

i'm in the dust ward

all in-patients report to the pharmacy
for medication
and i crawl through the shadows on the floor for my pills
for my pills

i'm in the dust ward

Rob Instigator · 09.26.2006, 02:49 PM

CAMARILLO - FEAR
First I fell down and then I got shot up! [x4]
Sanitarium!
Electro-shockin' 'em!
Disciplinary correctional surgery.
We're not mellow [x3]
First I fell down and then I got shot up! [x3]
And we just love it here cos it's just so damn therapeutic!

gimme gimme shock treatment

Hip Priest · 09.26.2006, 03:30 PM

Ministry - TVII

(the performance is such a huge part of the track though - the lyrics alone don't convey the troubled mind quite as well)

Tell me something I dont know
Show me something I cant use
Push the button
Connect the goddamned dots
Live-in thief in my bedroom bathroom
Commodity sodomy glass autonomy
Promise everything take it all away
Give it a rest
Youre lying through your teeth
Youre lying through your teeth
Who what which why who
When did you say the earth would stop turning?
When did you say we would all start burning?
When should I make a pledge?
Should I listen to the voices in my head?
Connect the goddamned dots
Connect the goddamned dots
Connect the goddamned dots
Who am I trying to impress?
Who could care less?
Tell me something I dont know
