(Verse 1)
Mercy South, a familiar place,
Another patient, another case.
Gown is open, don't know my name,
Playing the same old broken game.
Heard they're combative, heard they're mean,
Got a little sign says "psych" on the scene.
Waitin' for the doctor, yeah, the doctor to appear,
But I can feel the tension, I can taste the fear.
(Chorus)
Psych evaluation, green scrubs they wear,
A vacant look, a distant stare.
Talkin' to myself, a world away,
Lost to the voices, day by day.
Strapped to the bed and screaming out loud,
Lost in a rage, a combative crowd.
Psych evaluation, yeah, here we go again,
Another broken soul, another troubled friend.
(Verse 2)
Saw a guy try to bite a nurse,
Said he saw the devil, something worse.
Another one's screamin' 'bout the government,
Claims his whole life's a fake event.
They got no shoes on, just the plastic socks,
Gotta keep 'em locked down with the heavy locks.
Got a security guard, big and bold,
Just another story, another tale to be told.
(Chorus)
Psych evaluation, green scrubs they wear,
A vacant look, a distant stare.
Talkin' to myself, a world away,
Lost to the voices, day by day.
Strapped to the bed and screaming out loud,
Lost in a rage, a combative crowd.
Psych evaluation, yeah, here we go again,
Another broken soul, another troubled friend.
(Bridge)
Yeah, the fluorescent lights, they buzz and hum,
Pacing the floor, my mind is numb.
The medication's in me, making me slow,
But the crazy in my head won't let go.
They call me names, they call me sick,
But I'm just looking for a little love, a little trick.
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
Psych evaluation, green scrubs they wear,
A vacant look, a distant stare.
Talkin' to myself, a world away,
Lost to the voices, day by day.
Strapped to the bed and screaming out loud,
Lost in a rage, a combative crowd.
Psych evaluation, yeah, here we go again,
Another broken soul, another troubled friend.
(Outro)
Yeah, psych evaluation, a crazy mess.
Psych evaluation, no room to guess.
At Mercy South, we're all a test,
Tryin' to put the pieces back in the mess.
