Paranoia

Permanent Tourist

Perfect paranoia is perfect awareness.

LYRICS:

Notice the world getting worse not better
White men in sheets decide the weather
and whether or not to eat the weak
Inherit the mighty from the meekest

Federal agents tracking the phone lines
Trenchcoat mafia infiltrates my mind
Satellites recording in open space
“Thank you very much” said the human race

Take my pills and see the future right
nothing’s fair ’cause nothing is
Paranoia illuminates the night
Show me where it is

Aliens probe me Test me Scold me
Another fellow shoots from the grassy knoll
the bombs are blowing Let’s take it all down
then blame it on people whose skin is brown

Do it for oil or maybe for sand
or a one-way ticket to the Promised Land
If only I could figure out where I am at
Allow me to adjust my tinfoil hat

And when I tell you I’m not afraid
I am afraid
and that’s okay

So when I tell you I’m not afraid
I am afraid
and that’s okay

Paranoid
