Gettin’ Out by Fabulous Downey Brothers

Dedicated to everyone who is getting out of psychiatry and the mental health system.

Slides are strange — they can be deranged
No idea now why we are upside down
Slip into a maze, and get lost for days
No idea now how we are gettin’ out

Want to know how to do it on my own (that’s right)

People go insane in the labyrinth of the brain
But we can figure out that it’s a simple route
Taken to an end that’s just around the bend
We should be so proud that we are gettin’ out
