  1. Institutionalized

    "Institutionalized" is a song by the American crossover thrash band Suicidal Tendencies. It was released in 1983 as the only single from their debut album, Suicidal Tendencies. It is often classified as the band's signature song and would be re-recorded for the album Still Cyco After All These Years ten years later. The 1993 version was nominated for the Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 1994. The original version of the song was featured on the long-out of print compilation album F.N.G., while the Still Cyco After All These Years version appears on Prime Cuts and Playlist: The Very Best of Suicidal Tendencies, which was not endorsed by the band. The song was also included in the 12-inch EP Institutionalised, which was released exclusively in the UK in 1988 after Suicidal Tendencies had risen in popularity.

    When you've been inside an institution for a while you become institutionalized, which means when you get out of these groups, be it jail, or home for children, any place where you live in a group envirement , then you are released, you will basically try and do anything you can to be placed back in that situation, It happened to me as a teen ager, I was in one Orphanage and one Girls Home, when I finally turned of age I was released. I wanted to go back, I felt safe, but I was too old and had to chage my way of thinking or I would have ended in prison
