Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized Lyrics
Sometimes I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I want it to
I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it doesn't work out the way I want it to
It's like I concentrate real hard and it doesn't work out
Everything I do and everything I try never turns out
It's like I need time to figure these things out
Hey Mike:
You know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately
You know, maybe you should get away and maybe you should talk about it, maybe you'll feel a lot better
And I'm all like:
Oh nah it's ok you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out
You know I'm just working on it by myself
And they go:
So why don't you talk about it?
And I go:
No I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself
But they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me, and it builds up inside
So you're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won't have anyting to say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way
I'm not crazy - Institutionalized
You're the one that's crazy - Institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - Institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution,
Said it was the only solution,
to give me the needed professional help
to protect me from the enemy - Myself
I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything
But then again I was thinking about nothing
And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there
She called my name and I didn't hear her and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE!
And I go:
What, what's the matter?
She goes:
What's the matter with you?
I go:
There's nothing wrong mom
She's all:
Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!
I go:
No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a Pepsi
She goes:
NO you're on drugs!
I go:
Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking
She goes:
No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't be acting that way!
I go:
Mom just get me a Pepsi, please
All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
Just a Pepsi
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
I'm not crazy - Institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - Institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - Institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution,
Said it was the only solution,
to give me the needed professional help,
to protect me from the enemy - Myself
I was sitting in my room when my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a chair and they sat down
They go:
Mike, we need to talk to you
And I go:
Okay what's the matter?
They go:
Me and your mom have been noticing lately that you've been having a lot of problems
And you've been going off for no reason and we're afraid you're going to hurt somebody
And we're afraid you're going to hurt yourself
So we decided that it would be in you're best interest if we put you somewhere
Where you could get the help that you need
And I go:
Wait, what are you talking about, WE decided!?
MY best interests?! How do you know what MY best interest is?
How can you say what MY best interest is? What are you trying to say, I'M crazy?
When 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?
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
I'm not crazy - Institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - Institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - Institutionalized
They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
to give me the needed professional help
to protect me from the enemy - Myself
Doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyways

drinking
sure after superbowl sunday
The song ends whispering
First time I heard this song I was driving in my car late at night and had to pull into a 7/11 parking lot because I was laughing so hard I couldn't drive!!!
Fistfight at the parking lot brought me here...
Matt Hoffman Pro Bmx 2 Anyone?!
Iwould be really mad and institucionalized if i had a hot mother like that, i love my mom very much as a mom thank god she is a plain non atractive at all sexually
Here from mat Hoffman pro bmx 2
Classic!!
Rocky George , Maestro!!!!
i call this song the tantrum song
In 1988 my mum did the same thing came in my room and i didnt hear her and the same thing your on drugs and drinking
Little did she know i was going on too a big long career in taking drugs and drinking,bitch was right all along.
He just wanted a pepsi
If j roc went metal
believe it or not my dad was a part of the band til the drummer or whattever died then he didn't go back when the band reunited
truthbomb!!
Why is this song so unbelievably relatable to everything that's been happening with me in the past few days. Like word for word. They treat me like i'm crazy even though i just have somewhat dark thoughts and short anger spasms. Completely normal for a 15 (just turned 16) yo guy especially in this day and age with all the insanity that is the Internet. They're lazy so they just put me on drugs. Well at least mental health help is somewhat better now and it's easier to talk to therapists but they still charge a lot.
You know
Rip Mike Padilla
Iron man 1
*this song is sponsored by pepsi*
“How do you know what my best interest is??”
Gaslighting: Verb. "manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity." Seems to be what this song is about.
Mike had that whole gangsta' look before it became trendy.
He’s not even singing for 3/4 of the song, just ranting about the forced “help” that we get
and i love it
GlitchMaster2 and that’s what makes this song so brilliant
How the US turn from this to Billie Eilish?
Jajaja la rola del iron man
OR PUNK
ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL TUNES IN METAL
My adhd
"And one time, in band camp"
My pp is fucking erect I want to die
2020 and I still go rage at the gym to this !🤘🏼
Ha ha me and I'm enjoying this lovely morning tacos and donuts with a real Pepsi and a bars.
Is that Jack Nance?
I thought that was the original Prison Mike in the thumbnail
Parents sucks
is "pepsi" a kind of drug slang??
Hell yeah!
Nah he just wants some Pepsi
The guitar in this is so sick plus the relatable subject matter and everything else in the music is amazing
What an absolute load of shit
Oh well for you and those who see $hit..
That concludes our broadcast day. Tune in tomorrow with Billy Graham and the glazed hams.
Inspiration for ok boomer
Kids, drink your Pepsi before land up in institution
Legend says to this day he still hasn’t gotten his Pepsi
What if that pepsi could've saved this dudes life 😨
Still my favorite records. This and Ozzys Diary Of a Mad Man. Ugh!
This is pure awesome
This is too quiet. Great music, but way too low.
Teens REACT to..."Institutionalized" by SUICIDAL TENDENCIES. \m/ ^_^
This song is timeless!!
Never related to a song so bad before
i can’t be the only one here because of Ironman
I found myself liking all of these comments, I will let you know when done
Pretty cool Eraserhead is the dad
The need to listen to this while enjoying a can of Pepsi is UNREAL
All I wanted was a Pepsi...
This video compare to the lyrics is "weird"
This band was soooooo ahead of their time
Just leave me alone I’ll figure it out
I feel like im watching a gangster version of candlemass's bewitched music video.
Kids need this kind of outlet today, instead they're being institutionalized to hate Trump.
Serpent Sepia bruh what lol
All he wanted was a Pepsi.
3.9k millenials got offended by this video and we dgaf
Jack Nance is so cool in this lol
T.H.A.W
I fellelllbdhhsus
one of the best songs ever!!!
I watched my cousin jump out of a 3rd story apartment to this song
Is your cousin alive?
What is that hat called that the drummer wears
Oh my God this is be my favorite song. My name is Michael LOL
Me too but we would sing this about our Cousin mike tamez
Better use..."Iron Man" or "Repo Man"?
Just one Pepsi
WWG1WGA
36 years later, I wonder if he ever got his Pepsi...
How the fuk i end up here
I wonder what his parents think of this song
From his garage, it's totally Kyle!
I just wanted a Pepsi
Why does this keep on skipping every so often like tiny segments of time have been cut out? Anyone got a link to the video without the jumps in the track?
One of my most favorite band in the world. Still can't believe this song was actually used in the MCU lol
Damn, never realized how much Grant Estes looked like Rocky George 🤨
But Coke is still better 🤣
Hell yeah! I played this cassette a lot back in the day! Brings back good memories. Surfing, partying, and chasing girls... The Good Ol' Days!
How can the boomers decide for us X'er's what OUR BEST INTERSTATE IS!?!?!?!?!?!?!
imagine walking away from pratice just to waste time for the concert
this song was made for me
Nice to know
Susan Holloway baby is sexy so she could keep me Cody Bryson but I Cody Bryson am not for keeps for other chicks mine Cody Bryson's ex wife Susan Holloway baby is/was the last woman I Cody Bryson will ever marry again. If Susan Holloway baby wants to marry me Cody Bryson again but Susan Holloway baby must know that I Cody Bryson am now a renounced Christian and will stay that way now that Susan Holloway baby is now all hulled out from being a secret pimped out law dog DOPEWHORE detective for the chickenshit police pigs a pimped out dopewhore is still a pimped out dopewhore even if her pimps are the chickenshit police pigs
All I wanted was a fucking PEPSI
i want a pepsi now.
The Faction did a song called Lets Go Get Coke's. I prefer that song over this. Mike's such a fake cholo in this too.
PEPSI > COKE
I heard this somewhere else and I always thought it was Trey Parker singing and trying to sound intentionally goofy
Still one of my favorite songs.
Sometimes i just really need a hug from mom instead a beer :'(
There's plenty of Pepsi in the fridge 🤣🤣🤣🖕 Pepsi 😋.
There’s not a single reference to Pepsi in the entire thing
Fucking Incredible music............
This is my life told in a single song
Mulle Meck never related to a song so much in my life before
Brings back great memories rock nights at the London Astoria. I can even remember now chatting up Rayna Foss.
MIke's mom is freakin' hot... :/
When I listen to this song my neighbor does too. Fuck you Dave.
remember when skating was enough of a rebellion against EVERYTHING? Now it's some bullshit trendy fuck garbage.
I'm not trying to be funny. These skaters now just want to fit in. Horrible. I used to love skating, but it hurts.
it hurts because something I loved so much has such a massive scene of such crap, there's no fire in skating anymore.
It's just skate these steps and do this trick or u can't be cool like us hurrhurhurhurhurh(coming from the NYC skate scene)
I remember when the music you listened to and the clothes you wore meant something. I remember when being cool meant more than being popular.
@occupynewparadigm ye but I dont really feel the same connection to dressing a certain way. Not sure if that makes sense
Not gonna lie, this is definitely me when I want a Pepsi
Bro. Want a Pepsi 😳
