The Ramones

I want Prozac, but if I can't have Prozac...

Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment

Listen to .wav version or .au version (about 1MB each), and read the lyrics:

I was feeling sick
I was losing my mind
I heard about these treatments
From a good friend of mine
He was always happy
Smile on his face
He said he had a great time at the place.
Peace and love is here to stay
And now I can wake up and face the day
Happy happy happy all the time
Shock treatment, I'm doing fine.
Gimme gimme shock treatment!
Gimme gimme shock treatment!
Gimme gimme shock treatment!
I want I want shock treatment!

REPEAT
from Ramones Leave Home, 1977


And, really, who needs a mind anyway?

Teenage Lobotomy

Listen to .wav version or .au version (about 420K each), and read the lyrics:

Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy!
DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose.
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy.

Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum.
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I'm a teenage lobotomy.

REPEAT
from Rocket To Russia, 1977
