Lyrics
They’re talking about institutionalizing me,
so I become a part of society,
They want to teach me how to behave,
how to make the grade,
how to suck up to my superiors.
My best friend just committed suicide,
and my mother’s going to jail for shoplifting,
and the girl I love is going to marry another guy,
but worse of all!
C
My vacuum cleaner’s broken,
I can’t take it anymore
living my life on a dirty floor,
I can’t take it,
I can’t take it.
I spent last night in the drunk tank
and the guy’s breath to me really stank,
it seems like my life is falling apart,
as I waste my time watching television.
They’re talking about nuclear disasters,
and the threat of another war,
politicians waste my money
arguing about the waste of money,
but I’ve got other worries.
C
(ending)
I can take it – I can’t!
I can take it – so what!
I can take it – fuck off!
I can take it – leave me alone!! (3X)
