Victimology

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink
It is I fear the same with people there's very few who think
It's not for me to criticize the culture that we link
To childhood experiences that've brought us to the brink
Of a society that's rapidly throwing it's future down the drink
And blaming it on our parents for beating our bottoms pink
And if everyone's a victim like some people seem to think
Then I guess it's painfully obvious
Why there are so many
GODDAMNED SHRINKS!!!!!
