The Shrink

Why would you waste your money? To pay a shrink or quack If you want to hear you’re crazy I can tell you that How can you take them seriously? As you lie in the chair While they fall asleep behind you You’re really quite unaware They take notes of what you say Or that is how is seems When really they are doodling The woman of their dreams They get you really emotional And then say “times up” How can then be so limiting When they see you’re in a rut But they never seem to cure you It’s always something new Your dad dressed in girls clothes And so they say will you? They never seem to smile Until you pay the bill Then they turn to you and tell you You’ll be back you know you will You have unresolved issues That lurks within your brain Without constant sessions You will go insane And so they have you hypnotized And there you shall stay Your unrelenting problems A shrink now has its prey.
