Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues
The Kinks

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 k.g.b.,
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,
Acute schizophrenia blues,

They?re watching my house and they?re tapping my telephone,
I can?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,
Oh there ain?t no cure for acute schizophrenia disease.

No there ain?t no cure for
Schizophrenia disease.
