I Need Therapy

Screeching Weasel · Thank You Very Little [2000]

I need therapy

I need therapy I need therapy oh yeah

I need therapy I need therapy oh yeah

My girlfriend left today

When I said "But I love you babe"

She just kicked me in the face

Oh yeah I'm so depressed- I need a shrink!

I need therapy I need therapy oh yeah

I need therapy I need therapy oh yeah

O.D.'d on The Ramones

Cause I just sit around at home

And bitch and whine cause I'm alone

Oh yeah I'm so depressed- I need a shrink!



I need an institution- think!

There ain't no solution- think!

The U.S. Constitution- think!

I need therapy I need therapy oh yeah

I need therapy I need therapy oh yeah

O.D.'d on Mr. T

I sit around and watch TV

And now I think I got VD

Oh yeah I'm so depressed- I need a shrink!

I Need Therapy

The track features the band's signature blend of frantic energy and melodic hooks, characteristic of their work during the early 2000s. Produced by the band's own members, the recording captures the raw, DIY ethos that defined their catalog. The song serves as a rhythmic companion to other tracks on the album, contributing to a cohesive sonic landscape that balances aggression with catchy, danceable beats. It remains a staple of the band's discography, reflecting their enduring influence on the noise and punk rock scenes.
