  • I was feeling sick, losing my mind
    Heard about these treatments by a good friend of mine
    He was always happy, smile on his face
    He said he had a great time at the place

    Peace and love is here to stay and now I can wake up and face the day
    Happy-happy-happy all the time, shock treatment, I'm doing fine

    Gimme-gimme shock treatment
    Gimme-gimme shock treatment
    Gimme-gimme shock treatment
    I wanna-wanna shock treatment
