Paranoid

Come on, come on, come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You turn away when I come around

I ain't even looked at you

when I look at you , you look down

look crazy, tell me who are you?

I get this shit 'cause when I hear a sound

Brooks, "Kill everybody"

people talkin' in my head, I hear 'em screamin', want to shut 'em down

and everyday I run away

but I don't know where I'm goin'

end up back where I stay

givin' up, brain overflowin'

disarray, pain, dismay

I'm in a lot of pain, for sure

I call my momma but she told me take a Tegritol and go away

I write shit on the wall

but it doesn't make any sense

God's gonna kill you all

If you are, no he isn't

pop another Rispidol

or maybe I should take four

I put my head through a mirror and nobody seemed to care at all

back from another bender

but I don't know when I'm comin' off

threw the T.V. through the window

honey, can you turn it off?

ask my girl, "where's my fuckin' dinner?"

lucky I'm even here

she told me, "make it for yourself!"

and then she hit me with a blender

Just because you're paranoid does not mean the whole world ain't against you

if you had to stand alone I'd bet you'd bring a friend to keep you

company, and I understand

I'm scared as you are and

I swear to god my mind's workin' against me

killin' me, killin' me, killin' me, killin' me

Chest tight, shallow breath, scared to death, cottonmouth

nervous, takin' sweaters and devils' inside me kickin' his way outta me

lie to me, tell me I'm normal and beggin' me

and now could it be the way I'm livin'

I got me thinkin' everybody's after me, so casually

these strangers be starin' when they passin' me

and I get the feeling they know I only work half the week

and I'm just waitin' for one of these sorry son of a bitches to laugh at me

so I can let the demon preceed and bleed

I've been geekin' 3 weeks and I need some peace

this razzamatazz and pizzazz, has like I'm Alcatraz

dire for getting me higher, shows like the wires on my tires

having a panic attack in the back of a Cadillac on crack

what's the fact, what the fuck, how to act

I'm feelin' stuck, what if it fades to black

Just because you're paranoid does not mean the whole world ain't against you

if you had to stand alone I'd bet you'd bring a friend to keep you

company, and I understand

I'm scared as you are and

I swear to god my mind's workin' against me

killin' me, killin' me, killin' me, killin' me

But I really gotta wonder why

your head is in the way

no matter what I do I can't die

I'll try it anyway

no matter what I do I ain't high

speed, Special-K

so I'm coppin' me a bird and stick it in my mouth…bye, bye

Brookie, don't do that

that's what I'm shootin' for

or at least get it on that

record label whore

before you do that

just release the album

so we can make a million dollars off you just to buy a Cadillac

Just because you're paranoid does not mean the whole world ain't against you

if you had to stand alone I'd bet you'd bring a friend to keep you

company, and I understand

I'm scared as you are and

I swear to god my mind's workin' against me

killin' me, killin' me, killin' me, killin' me

Just because you're paranoid does not mean the whole world ain't against you

if you had to stand alone I'd bet you'd bring a friend to keep you

company, and I understand

I'm scared as you are man

I swear to god my mind's workin' against me

killin' me, killin' me, killin' me, killin' me

Please release this fear from me

wherefore art thou sanity?

bleeding joy, I have no skin

turn off the noise, I'm cavin' in

I cry and pray, I lay awake

could someone please just make it go away

Just because you're paranoid does not mean the whole world ain't against you

if you had to stand alone I'd bet you'd bring a friend to keep you

company, and I understand

I'm scared as you are and

I swear to god my mind's workin' against me

killin' me, killin' me, killin' me, illin' me
