It started getting bad, lost the only friend I had
I got a letter from the Post Office today.
I started speaking secret code, I’m the only one who knows
How to make all of this madness go away.
I’m getting so distracted I don’t know how to act
I am talking to myself most every day
I’m the only one who’s right and all the other people are crazy
They all try to tell me what to say
But I don’t need their mind-control, they stick their face inside my soul
With a camera and a microphone, recording all my dreams
My patience grows so tired when they tell me my phone’s wired
All of my computer files are obscene.
They’ve stolen my identity, they’ve made an extra apartment key
They come and go so easily
I can’t take it anymore, I deadbolt the door
But still they’re looking at my files down in Washington D.C.
Why are you so paranoid?
You’re fragile mind has been destroyed
One day they’ll come and take you far away
Why are you so paranoid?
You end up in the tabloids
And no one believes a word you say.
Boiu pdc fstxfg dcnku ohn but you can’t understand a word they said
My shaking hands they cannot see what is right in front of me
And I know this won’t stop until I am dead.
I can’t take it, I feel like I am naked
Standing all alone in front of you.
The constant survaillence is giving me the blues
Outside all the helicopters disapprove.
Security cameras watching every move
So I never go out because I’ll always lose!
All I ever wanted was a little peace and quiet but they got me on a diet
When they poison all my food.
They got me on file from my first day of school
They are coming to get me because I am breaking all the rules
I try to act casual, I try to act cool
But I think I am being followed and I don’t know what to do.
Why am I so paranoid?
My fragile mind has been destroyed
One day they’ll come and take me far away!
Oh, Why am I so paranoid?
I end up in the tabloids
And no one believes a word I say.
