Freudian Slippage
When to our bodies the psyche was added
To give us our human mystique
Some required cells that were padded
For those psychos whose psyches were unique
Psychoanalysis was birthed
Fathered by Sigmund Freud
Patients in search of self worth
Pondered dreams they couldn't avoid
They discovered deep-seated neurosis
Conveniently blamed on their past
Never dreaming all their psychosis
Their parents unwittingly caste
My folks caused me no nightmares
So Freud, stay out of my dreams
Blaming them for all of my scares
Seems to me, somewhat extreme
At least I thought that's what I think
I think that's what I thought
I think perhaps I'm on the brink
Of becoming over-wrought
Is it possible that Freud was right
With his theory on parental guilt-trip-ing?
And that's why I feel so uptight
Neurotically Freudian slipping
