Send "Hyperactive child" Ringtone to Cell

I'm tired of kissin' ass
I can't sit still all day
You know I know your school's a lie
That's why you dragged me here

'You're a hyperactive child
You're disruptive, you're too wild
We're going to calm you down
Now this won't hurt a bit'

Drag me to the floor
Pullin' down my pants
Ram a needle up my butt
Put my brain into a trance

'No more hyperactive child
Got too much of a mind
Wouldn't you rather be happy?
Now this won't hurt a bit'

Cameras in the balls
No windows, just brick walls
Pledge allegiance to a flag
Now you will obey

    General Comment:I liked my brother better when he was autistic... even though he was antisocial, he was also thoughtful, artistic, a real genius in my eyes.


    This song always reminds me of how angry I am that society and my parents couldn't handle who my brother was, so they gave him therapy, shots, and pills.

    Now they "cured" him and he's completely different. Now he's just like every other bratty kid. They call it an improvement, but I think they destroyed him.

    General Comment:I know exactly how they feel. I was put on ritalin for being "Hyperactive"...I'd say it's because I was more creative than other people so they got jealous and drugged me.

    General Comment:I had a friend who was considered "hyper-active" as a kid and had to take some kind of depressent to keep him from bouncing off the walls. I had another friend who was considered a depressed teen, even though she always seemed fine to me, but people tried ot make her take happy pills to make her more socially acceptible. I also knew another guy who's addicted to some prescription painkillers and has failing kidneys because he took too much unnecessary medication when he was younger.
    The things we do to seem normal,
    the things we ignore to feel like we're right.

    General Comment:It's about how children who show some free-thinking are drugged until they conform.
