Naming disorder
Schizophrenia,
Paranoia,
Bipolar,
Disassociation disorders.
Got these names so that life can be understood.
Got to wonder though, if we should.
Got a name for all of man’s worried lot,
Got a type, got a box.
But we also got individuals to tie these names too,
Names that at any time could apply, to me and to you.
Got these names, 'psychiatrics disorders.'
Got a whole lot of 'technical people callers.'
