Melanie
Psychotherapy (Live)
[Verse 1]
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 result in paranoid

[Refrain]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
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
[Verse 4]
Do you drown your superego in a flood of alcohol
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

[Refrain]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Refrain]
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

[Verse 6]
Freud's mystic world of meaning needn't have us mystified
It's really very simple what your psyche tries to hide:
A thing is a phallic symbol if it's longer than it's wide

[Refrain]
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
