Voices Or Dr Seuss Meets the Schizophrenic

Voices voices telling me Where to go Who to see What to say And who to be How to think What to believe What to buy And what to spend Where to start And where to end Who to hate And to friend When exactly to be straight And when exactly, they say I should bend . Rules to live my life by And how much I should get When to let it go Or when to throw a fit Voices voices I declare On the page And on the air Every how And every where . Every say And every said Constant voices In my head Voices voices telling me What to hope for What to dream Where to find Blue Bell ice cream When to whisper When to scream . Voices voices telling you Vote the red Vote the blue But don't think for yourself No matter what you do Voices to manipulate Paint good men fools Paint evil great . Those other voices whispering Prodding me to do their thing If I'm crazy let me be But you be you And I'll be me And choose for myself What I call free . Five hundred twenty-eight megahertz Called us up out of the dirt It's said I'll know the Shepherd's voice And when He calls I'll have a choice It's hard to hear Him thru the noise Or cipher through religious ploys But I choose to hear Him nonetheless Tune out the chaos of all the rest That one true Voice it brings me peace And floods my soul with sweet relief . One last time I must tell Keep your voices to yourself Schizophrenic I may well be But you just be you And let me be me
