Bonehead
They came with their white jump suits and nets,
changing your known reality,
washed and disinfected,
special jacket.
Teach you to obey the laws of God and society.
Hey baby! Hey baby!
Hold on! Wait!
Not yet!
They strapped you to a big ole metal table.
The needle went deep,
as the masked
man lied.
You slowly went limp, while a mouse whispered a fable.
A red rubber ball
in your mouth,
you cried.
The skin was slowly peeled back from your white skull.
A drill cut a hole
in your head,
just right.
They took a metal rod and slid it in your brain real tight.
You could feel your mind
take a very long
vacation flight.
Then you're home and again living your precious life,
not even the least bit
aware that anything
had changed.
You're just about right now, only a couple more treatments.
The one you love most
will call them again
next month.
