Punitive Psychology is the 16th song off Tim Truth’s debut album, We Never Burned Right
Lyrics:
Do you think you know it all, doctor?
Are you sure you have it all figured out
Are you correct or are you a monster?
For politics you snuff all the seers out
You say that you have proof I’m insane
It’s clear you want to burn down my family tree
History’s repeating itself once again
With your punitive psychiatry
You do things that l would never dare
You poison human heredity
Fascism all dressed up as care
Hoping God doesn’t mind your tyranny
Well God doesn’t get fooled so easily
No God doesn’t get fooled like you and me (so easily)
You say I can’t make my own decisions
The state has taken me as its slave
You dose me and throw me in an asylum
You forsake me and then fake that I’ve been saved
You know they did the same in Russia
They did it too in Nazi Germany
You’re stooping low like the fascists in china
With your punitive psychiatry
You say my insights are just a symptom
As you confiscate my God given brain
You say my light is better kept hidden
As you force me to share in your awful pain
You say my thoughts are oh so dangerous
The state says you’ve got a duty to care
But your actions are oh so monstrous
Fighting disorders that aren’t even there
You do things that l would never dare
You ruin human heredity
Fascism all dressed up as care
Hoping God doesn’t mind your tyranny
Well God doesn’t get fooled so easily
No, God doesn’t get fooled like you and me (so easily)
