Dio - Institutional Man Lyrics
Inside the walls I've made
To keep out all who reach for me
I might have lost my way
And I can't come out again
You may infect yourself
Don't ever cross this line
You could see monsters in your mind
There just like me
Have I erased all sense of touch
I don't feel anything
Sometimes they say I need
Sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need
Most dreams, they're black and white
But I must color mine
Each day's another end
Less night of screaming
Shouting at the outside
Someone let me in
Set me free now no-one can
Faces at the window
Stop the water, bags of sand
Institutional man
Sometimes they say I need
Sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need
New parts for my brain
Set me free now no-one can
Faces at the window
Lock the cages, tie my hands
Institutional, institutional man

Excellent Metal 🤘

killer album
YEESSSS
I am coming to free you brothers
We will incorporate you back with a new Quest
You are needed to hunt the damned with your streams of god pouring from your mouths
the transitions solos in this and stay out of my mind are sooo awesome. dark
Now I realize why Tim Ripper went on with Dio Disciples...he incarnate Ronnie better than any other singers.
I have high respect for Ripper. Quite the vocalist.
Tim is such a great man and a great defender of true heavy metal.
Quite a rare man nowadays!
In regards to a lead singer comparable to Ronnie James, there's also Joey Belladonna of Anthrax fame. Ever seen this video ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSjyNfabHxU There's a reason why Ronnie toured with these guys as often as he did. He respected them.
Dio’s voice in this albun amazing
"..Set me free: now no one can; 'Faces N the Window' (S4TO from Dream Evil Album) lock my cages: tie my hands; N'stitutional, n'stitutional maaan.."
Where can i get new parts for my brain?
THOSE RIFFFFFFFSSSSSSSSSS
THOSE DRUMMSSSSSSSSS
For me, this album is one of Dio's best, so much power
Best album by Dio by far!
My opinion ? The pinnacle of Ronnie's solo discography was Lock Up the Wolves, Strange Highways, Angry Machines, Magica, Killing the Dragon, and Master of the Moon. Yes, he had a few hits off of his earlier albums, but his later albums were almost flawless from track to track.

Inside the walls I've made
To keep out all who reach for me
I might have lost my way
And I can't come out again
Don't come around here anymore
You may infect yourself
Don't ever cross this line
You could see monsters in your mind
There just like me
Have I erased all sense of touch
I don't feel anything
Sometimes they say I need
Sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need
New parts for my brain
Most dreams, they're black and white
But I must color mine
Each day's another end
Less night of screaming
Shouting at the outside
Someone let me in
Set me free now no-one can
Faces at the window
Stop the water, bags of sand
Institutional man
Sometimes they say I need
Sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need
New parts for my brain
Set me free now no-one can
Faces at the window
Lock the cages, tie my hands
Institutional, institutional man
Load the whole album dude, yours sounds best
Been thinking about uploading a bit more off of this album. My main concern has been possible YouTube copyright strikes against me, but I believe I've thought of a work around. It goes something like this ... If I upload additional tracks from this album and include text comments in the video telling factoids about Ronnie's career, it would be considered an " educational video " which would therefore give me a grounds for appeal should YouTube try to flag my music uploads. Follow what I'm saying ? Truth be told, any YouTuber uploading music from albums should be able to use the same approach and YouTube rightfully shouldn't be able to do anything about it. Don't know if you've listened to any of my DC4 uploads, but YouTube can't touch me on those because I had direct approval from Rowan Robertson ( once a DIO guitarist ). They flagged me on one of them, but once I informed them that I had approval directly from Rowan they contacted him and he essentially told them to back off. Rowan's an online friend of mine and is such a super nice guy.
SO. ANGRY.
very good Dio,s album
the hole album is a master piece!!!
Indeed it is. Then again, there isn't a solo album Ronnie ever came out with that I didn't like. I LOVE !!! Master of The Moon, but the very first song off of it I uploaded to YouTube administration threatened me with a strike so I had to remove it.
is a masterpiece wow so fucking very good album of metal really a genious Dio
I find destroysociety's attempts at assaulting a fanbase hysterically bad.
+ReneeNme yes that's a good one too. I also like Killing The Dragon.
This and Strange Highways are the best Dio albums by far!
+william elliott Both are fantastic albums. I'm very partial to Magica too. It's a concept album which would make for a very good film if directed and produced correcty, imo. Excellent storyline.
ReneeNme yes my thoughts exactly
Half of this album is crap IMO. Magica is the best one and Strange Highways is awesome, too.
That said, there is a reason Holy Diver is such a classic. Not that far.
This one is one of his best. Strange Highways is by far his worse. Magica is a back to his roots album and it was awesome. Also Killing The Dragon is very close to both Magica and Angry Machines but loses at the finish line. For me the best albums from Dio are a) Dream Evil b) Holydiver c) Last In Line d) Master Of The Moon e) Magica f) Angry Machines g) Sacred Heart h) Killing The Dragon i) Strange Highways. Oops, I missed one of the really great ones. This is Lock Up The Wolves and it should be second or most possibly third behind Holydiver. Phew..lol
Wow so much hatred here. Wel dio has influenced a lot of musicians and will always b remembered! He was one of the first metal musicians!
Oh we were all okay with one another. Even destroysociety79. He's just a bit of a derp. Watch, if he see's that I've commented on this video again he's liable to come back with some kind of silliness. Actually, I think I'll go bug him before he gets the chance. Take the upperhand, as they say. lol
also killing the dragon another awesome album of dio really a so fucking genious
Such a great album. The only reason it was badly reviewed, was because of the decline and neglect of heavy metal at the time. It is a kickass, solid Dio album. I love it.
even more..is a great allbum in many aspects like drums tune up..the sound of the guitar and bass too
Dio is the GENIUS
Tracy G ftw
@destroysociety79
@destroysociety79 trying too hard........
the guitarist is crazy...and so is the drummer
@VideoGameMetal01 cry more bitch
Sorry for that double post below, my comp was acting weird.
@destroysociety79
Well you just gave a whole new meaning to the word stupid, but I can't really epect any less from a eyehategod fan. Guys better not mess with destroysociety69, he is teh tough!!!!!!
DIO Forever!!!
Rest In Peace DIO \m/
