Dennis Leary - Rehab lyrics

We did it all We did it all We did whatever we could Get our hands on back in the seventies We did f**ing handfuls of mushrooms, pills, ludes, coke Whatever it was, we just f**ing swallowed it, okay? That's what we did, people go "Well why didn't you go into rehab?" We didn't have rehab back in the seventies Back in the seventies rehab meant you'd stop doing coke But you kept smoking pot and drinking For a couple more weeks, you know? "Yeah, give me a case of Budweiser and an ounce I gotta slow down, Jesus Christ, I'm outta control Look at the size of my pants, for Christ's sake Because that's the big thing now Rehab is the big f**ing secret now, isn't it, huh? yeah You can do whatever you want Just go into rehab and solve your problems Isn't that the big celebrity thing? That's what I'm gonna do Yeah, I'm gonna get famous Then when my career starts to flag I'm gonna go into three months f**ing bender, okay? Coke, and f**ing pot, and smack, and f**ing booze And drive over people, and beat up my kids Go into therapy, go into rehab, come outta rehab Be on the cover of People Magazine "Sorry! I f**ed up!", That's what they do, man They go into rehab and they come out And they blame everybody except themselves They blame their parents, right? That's the way Everybody comes from a dysfunctional family All of the sudden, huh? Rosanne Barr comes from a dysfunctional family? Not Rosanne, she seems so normal to me The Jacksons were dysfunctional? Not the Jacksons These people give each other new heads For Christmas for Christ's sake I am sick and tired of hearing That f**ing speech, you know? These people come out of rehab They always have the same story "Well you know, I became an alcoholic Because my parents didn't love me enough And then I became a junkie Because my parents didn't love me enough And I went into hypnosis and therapy And I found out that parents used to hit me "Hey! My parents used to beat the living sh** out of me, okay? And looking back on it, I'm glad they did And I'm looking forward to beating the sh** out of my kids, aren't you"? For no reason whatsoever "What'd you hit me for?" "Shutup and get out there and mow the lawn for Christ's sake" There's therapy for ya Mowing the lawn and crying at the same time "The Leary kids in therapy again Their lawn looks great, it's unbelieveable" God, "I'm just not happy, I'm just not happy" I'm just not happy because My life didn't turn out the way I thought it would "Hey! Join the f**ing club, okay" I thought I was going to be The starting center fielder for The Boston Red Socks Life s**s, get a f**ing helmet, allright? "I'm not happy, I'm not happy" Nobody's happy, okay? Happiness comes in small doses folks It's a cigarette, or a chocolate cookie, or a five second orgasm That's it, okay! You cum, you eat the cookie You smoke the bu*t, you go to sleep You get up in the morning and go to f**ing work, okay? That is it, end of f**ing list "I'm just not happy" Shut the f** up, allright? That's the name of my new book "Shut the f** Up, by Doctor Denis Leary A revolutionary new form of therapy" I'm gonna have my patients come in. "Doctor, I" "Shut the f** up, next" "I don't feel so" "Shut the f** up, next" "He made me feel so much better about myself, you know? He just told me to shut the f** up And nobody had ever told me that before I feel so much better now" Whining f**ing maggots And all these people quitting I think it's a good thing, AA And the recovery and rehab Because I've got some friends who'd be dead Without those programs, but you know something Now we've got a new problem Because now they quit drinking and d** They're completely stressed out And they decide to work out, which is fine I'm not a workout guy, but I understood Nautilus It made sense, there were arm machines and leg machines But have you seen these people Who are using the stair-master? Have we turned into gerbils ladies and gentlemen? People are paying money to go into a health club And walk up invisible steps Over and over again for an hour and a half "Where are you going?" "I'm going up and I paid for it too I can stay here as long as I want" Folks, you wanna go up and down stairs Move into a fifth floor walk up on the lower east side, okay? What's next? A f**ing chair master? "I sit down. I get up, I sit down I get up, I sit dow, I get up" The door master "I open the door, I close" What the f**?
