Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm too terrified to walk out of my own front door

They're demonstrating outside I think they're gonna start the third world war

I've been to my local head shrinker

To help classify my disease

He said it's one of the cases of acute schizophrenia he sees

Well the milkman's a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me

And the woman next door's an undercover for the KGB

And the man from the social security

Keeps on invading my privacy

Oh, there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease

I've got acute schizophrenia, paranoia too

Schizophrenia, schizophrenia

I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose

Acute schizophrenia blues

I'm lost on the river, the river of no return

I can't make decisions, I don't know which way I'm gonna turn

Even my old dad, lost some of the best friends he ever had

Apparently, his was a case of acute schizophrenia too

I got acute schizophrenia, paranoia too

Schizophrenia, schizophrenia

I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose

They're watching my house and they're tapping my telephone

I don't trust nobody, but I'm much too scared to be on my own

And the income tax collector's got his beady eye on me

No, there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease

No, there ain't no cure for

Schizophrenia disease
