Psychotherapy Lyrics

Psychotherapy lyrics

Oh mine eyes have seen the glory of the theories of Freud,
He has taught me
all the evils that my ego must avoid.
Repression of the impulses resuling
paranoid
As the id goes marching on.
Glory glory psychotherapy, glory
glory sexuality,
Glory glory now we can be free as the id goes marching
on

There was a man who thought his friends to him were all
superior
And this complex he imagined made life drearier and
drearier
Till his analyst assured him that he really was inferior
As the
id goes marching on.
Glory glory psychotherapy, glory glory
sexuality,
Glory glory now we can be free as the id goes marching
on

Do you drown your superego in a flood of alcohol - or something else
-
And go running after women till you're just about to fall.
You may
think you're having fun but you're not having fun at all
As the id goes
marching on.
Glory glory psychotherapy, glory glory sexuality,
Glory
glory now we can be free as the id goes marching on

Oh sad is the
masochism, the vagaries of sex
Have turned half the population into total
nervous wrecks.
But your analyst will cure you, long as you can pay the
cheques
As the id goes marching on.
Glory glory psychotherapy, glory
glory sexuality,
Glory glory now we can be free as the id goes marching
on

Is your body plagued by aches and pains that you can't
understand
Compound fractures ingrown toenails, floating kidneys, trembling
hands,
There's a secret to your trouble: you're in love with your old
man
As the id goes marching on.
Glory glory psychotherapy, glory glory
sexuality,
Glory glory now we can be free as the id goes marching
on

Freud's mystic world of meaning needn't have us mystified
It's
really very simple what the psyche tries to hide:
A thing is a phallic
symbol if it's longer than it's wide
As the id goes marching on.
Glory
glory psychotherapy, glory glory sexuality,
Glory glory now we can be free
as the id goes marching on.
