Get A Grip!

All my girlfriends used to love me, now they all look away
My bodies gettin’ older and I’m drunk every day
I used to know the reasons, now I’m not really sure
Please God, I hope you know of a cure

My doctor gave me Prozac and he said I’m a mess
I didn’t know my name and forgot my address
So now I’m hearing voices, I am mad, you’ll agree
And this is what they’re sayin’ to me

Get a grip, get a grip, get a grip on your life
‘Cause there’s no one else to help you when alone in the night
Get a grip, get a grip, get a grip on your life
And lovin’ is the way to make it right

They try to reassure me with community care
The paperwork is present but there’s nobody there
I went up to the clinic at the end of the line
And written on the wall was a sign

I just happened to be present at the scene of a crime
I pleaded I was innocent one thousand times
But no-one would believe me when I told them the truth
They said because I’m crazy there’s your proof

I was sentenced and released on conditional bail
My lawyer had to crumble, said my defence was frail
The judge was understanding, with his philosophy
He stood up in the court and sang to me
