“Nancy Thomas” is a song about what happens when authority replaces compassion.

This song was written about the real-life impact of abusive “behavior modification” practices that were disguised as treatment. For years, families were told these methods were helping children and families — when in reality, they were causing lasting psychological harm.

Holding/Binding therapy has been found to be a form of abuse and is not accepted as a treatment for maladaptive behaviors in children. My brother and we have seen firsthand how placing trust in uncredentialed 'professionals' can result in lasting emotional damage spanning generations.

Lyrics:

Nancy knows best, now you're under arrest

Nancy Thomas
Hands upon us
Don't wrap me up
Don't wrap me up

No this is fine
tie up my mind
Won't you
Go
Make up my mind
Cruelty is kind
Told you

What's best for us
God glorious
You crack me up
You crack me up

Don't give this to me
Sick history
Lesson
You took out a piece
I’m incomplete
Lessoned

Nancy knows best now you're under arrest
Not a licensed therapist
So please let go of me

It's not abuse when you know as much as you do
And have national tv to excuse you
I have a child of rage
please take it from me
Teach it to behave with
binding therapy

Nancy knows best now you're under arrest
Not a licensed therapist
So please let go of me

Just admit it
You’re fucking sick kid
Can't be trusted
Cuz you won't admit it
And i know just what you did

So please let go of me

Nancy knows best now you're under arrest
