This song is in the perspective of Dominic as he goes through his life; he talks about his struggles, suicide, depression, and other mental illnesses and also talks about how the world sees people like that. Being depressed/having mental illnesses must mean you’re a “psycho” in the eyes of adults.

[Verse 1]
I see pictures in my head
A world where the suffering's dead
And they can't fight or unjustly arrest
Anybody for the color of their body
[Chorus]
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them
[Verse 2]
Drop a hairdryer into my bath
Shocks like that make me laugh
It's fun to laugh when you're sad
Be happy, come on, let me be happy
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Come and take a ride in my psychotic mind
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
Why do you wanna go turn back time?
[Chorus]
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them
[Bridge]
My mum thinks I'm on heroin
And my dad just thinks I'm gone
But they don't know fucking anything
Say “youth is wasted on the young”
My mum thinks I'm on heroin
And my dad just thinks I'm gone
But they don't know fucking anything
Say “youth is wasted on the young”
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young
Wasted on the young
[Chorus]
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want (What they want)
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them (Control them)
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want (What they want)
Psychotic kids, we've got to keep control of them (Control them)
We've got to keep control of them
We've got to keep control of them
Psychotic kids, they don't know what they want
