Lyrics

Straight Jacket

Wha dem ah go do when we get too strong?
Pick up sticks, ah new selection
Handle the pain and the rejection
Giving all of the world ah shock to dem brain
Can't take this botheration
Chemical masturbation
Please nurse, go tell this patient
"Same time next week, please come again"

Go on the train or go on the bus
I don't wanna go on the bus
I don't wanna 'cause no fuss

I've got these bombs going off in my brain
Straight jacket
I've got these bombs going off in my brain
Straight jacket
Straight jacket
Straight jacket

Man I cry fi dem, you know
Demons won't ever let them go
Medication will make them blow
My diagnosis, this one's insane

In your mind, dem voices repeat
What you can't see, you can't defeat
Got to stay and look out vigilantly
'Cause they can't calm down, and they can't be tamed

Go on the train or go on the bus
I don't wanna go on the bus
I don't wanna 'cause no fuss

I've got these bombs going off in my brain
Straight jacket
I've got these bombs going off in my brain
Straight jacket
Straight jacket
Straight jacket

Say open the door and let's all see
Which one of you motherfuckers are stronger than me
None of you motherfuckers are stronger than me
None of you motherfuckers are stronger than me
None of you motherfuckers are stronger than me
None of you motherfuckers are stronger than me

I've got this straight jacket on my back
And I just can't get it off
I've got this straight jacket on my back
And I just can't get it off

I've got these bombs going off in my brain
Straight jacket
I've got these bombs going off in my brain
Straight jacket
Straight jacket
Straight jacket

I've got these bombs going off
I've got these bombs going off
I've got these bombs going off
I've got these bombs going off
