Sung to the tune of Go Down Moses, the traditional African American spiritual popularized by Paul Robeson.

When OCD controls my brain
Let My ego go!

Makes me think that I’m insane
Let My ego go!

Refrain:

Go down, my free self

Way down in ego’s land

Tell old OCD

To let my ego go!

No more shall I in rituals toil
Let my ego go!

Let me come out of my embroil
Let my ego go!

Oh, let us all from bondage flee,
Let my ego go!

And let us all in freedom be,
Let my ego go!

You need not always think and touch,
Let my ego go!

Trying to control so much,
Let my ego go!

My foes are all within my head,
Let my ego go!

My fears will go if they’re not fed,
Let my ego go!
