Donnie Iris - Shock Treatment

Great song performed by Donnie Iris from his debut-album 'Back On The Streets' from 1980.

Lyrics:

Look in my eyes and tell me I'm not crazy
Too many shock treatments he's insane
Stow away my pills doctor don't be lazy
Stick him with your needles man he digs the pain
And I hit the consultation what a dream vacation
It doesn't matter even if it rains
Cause I didn't spend no money
He just admitted that he was deranged
But the doctor said I'm sorry son
It's time that you were leaving
Now pack up all your bags
Cause we need your bed this evening
Get it on
Oh get it on
Get it on
Get it on
Oh get it on
Get it on
Get it on
Oh no
Doctor don't you think that I'm much too aggressive
Better lock him up before he hurts someone
Face it I'm a schizophrenic manic depressive
Get him outa here he gonna screw things up
It's too late for me to change it
You'll have to call my agent
He worked so hard to get him booked in here
Just cancel my other engagements
Looks like it's gonna be another bad year
Well you're really not that crazy man
You might as well admit it yeah
Now half the people in the world
should have themselves committed
Get it on
Oh get it on
Get it on
Get it on
Oh get it on
Get it on
Get it on
Shock Treatment!
Now I don't even remember my name
Oh what a shame that I lost all my brains
Shock Treatment
It's giving me the treatment
Give him shock treatment
Let's give him one more treatment
Give him back his
Give him back his gun
Get him outa here
Now he's gonna hurt someone
Shock Treatment
It's giving me the treatment
Give him shock treatment
Let's give him one more treatment

Iris is "everyman's man." He's down to earth and will hang and drink a beer with ya after the show. That's MY Rock-n Roll Hero!

his image on this album reminds me of Devo. 1980? Perfect.

Always loved this album since it first came out!

[JOHNSSMYTH]

The bass player is super tight=would be an asset in any band. Iris is one cool songwriter and performer. One of my favorites.

[Leucius42]

As someone with schizophrenia and bipolar I can say this song very accurately describes how a person with these chemical imbalances feels.
