The Lyrics

Hi everyone. I'm a noobie parody writer I guess, and I hope to get better. I did three awhile ago and they got decent reviews, but they wern't really funny. I think I've made this one a lot funnier. I think the pacing is all right too. It is also pretty...weird...but I don't think anyone will be offended. Also, psyche is going to be pronounced as Sy-kee. I don't know if that's how it's really pronounced, but if it's not pronounced like that, just pretend it is for a little while. :-P
Before I went mad I lived alone
In mother's house and I was on my own
"Go out on a date" she would always say
So I could prove to her that I really wasn't gay

He could prove to her that he really wasn't gay

A hand axe was later embedded in she
So then I knew that I had an insane psyche

A hand axe was later embedded in she
So then he knew that he had an insane psyche

After the crime I ran right away
I needed to find a place where I could stay
I killed hobos with my own bare hands
And I took their homes that were made out of garbage cans

He took their homes that were made out of garbage cans

I made all of those cans into a fort for me
Later I was assessed with an insane psyche

He made all of those cans into a fort for he
Later he was assessed with an insane psyche

My crime had given me such a name
That being outside gave the mayor shame
Then came the big man who wore a white suit
And he took me away to a mental institute

And he took him away to a mental institute

Those weak and flimsy straight jackets could not hold me
And then I had escaped with an insane psyche

Those weak and flimsy straight jackets could not hold he
And then he had escaped with his insane psyche

Of street survival I acquired such a grip
That I knew I should escape on a ship
And that giant knife in his face I ween
Was the very last sight the captain had seen

Was the very last sight the captain had seen

But navigation just confused me
Too bad I am assessed with an insane psyche

But navigation just confused he
Too bad he was assessed with an insane psyche

I grew so mad they fin'ly sent
Some Navy SEALS in hopes of making a dent
Throughout the night many bullets would fall
And I never thought of safety for myself at all

And he never thought of safety for himself at all

Somehow I killed them all and they spared me
I seemed to be alive with my insane psyche

Somehow he killed them all and they spared he
He seemed to be alive with his insane psyche

Now sane men all whoever you may be
If you wish to be crazy just like poor me
If your soul isn't fettered to your mothers home
You're out of luck, I can not help, leave me alone

You're out of luck, he can not help, leave him alone

Don't leave your own house, you can take it from me
And for sure you will all get an insane psyche

Don't leave your own house, you can take it from he
And for sure you will all get an insane psyche
Comments are appreciated. I'll probably respond to them while it's on the new parody table. Also, I'm not bashing gays or single forty year old men that live with their mothers. Well, okay, maybe I'm bashing the latter, but not the former.
