Avoiding Evil

Here is a song written by Anna Russell that gives humerous insight into the way we often think about ourselves.

Sung to the tune of - “Ghostriders”

I went to my psychiatrist
to be psychoanalyzed
To find out why I killed the cat
and blacked my husband’s eyes.
He laid me on a downy couch
to see what he could find,
So this is what he dredge-ed up
from my subconscious mind:

Refrain:
Hey, libido,
Bats in the belfry,
Jolly Old Sigmund Freud.

When I was one, my mommy hid
my dolly in a trunk,
and so it follows naturally
that I am always drunk.

When I was two, I saw my father
kiss the maid one day,
and that is why I suffer now
from kleptomania.

Refrain:
Hey, libido,
Bats in the belfry,
Jolly Old Sigmund Freud.

At three, I had the feeling of
ambivilance towards my brothers,
And so it follows naturally
I poisoned all my lovers.

But I am happy; now I’ve learned
the lesson this has taught;
that everything I do that’s wrong -
is someone else’s fault.

We need to take a good long look in the mirror and remind ourselves, “I am who I am today, because of the choices that I have made.” It is not someone else’s fault. Know the truth and the truth shall set you free!
