Everywhere I go someone's trying to be my girlfriend's best friend
I'm tryin' to pretend I'm relaxed but I'm playin' castonettes with my knees
I try to be cool and give her space but a guy's always there ready to jump right up and take my place
Everyone in this room seems to want to make a big fool outta me

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say ah (ah ah ah ah)
Everything will be alright if you play along

Everywhere I go there's someone in a trench coat staring at me
And when I'm not at home I'm sure someone's rummaging through my trash
What ever could they want from me?
Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?
I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram shaped rash

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say ah (ah ah ah ah)
Everything'll be alright, this won't hurt at all (turn it up)
Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough (ah ah)
Everything'll be alright if you just lay off

Dictate a memo to myself
Tryin' to finally find the only one in complete health
Consult contemporaries if there are some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my lane

Every night at a lane, someone thinks they've got a find beyond me
I try to take three deep breaths as I walk up to my minivan
Everyone says I'm lookin' great but it's hard to stand up let alone to try to concentrate
I wish that everyone that I knew hadn't sold out to the man

Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say ah (ah ah ah ah)
Everything'll be alright, this won't hurt at all
Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough
Everything'll be alright if you just lay
Everything'll be alright if you just lay
Everything'll be alright if you just lay off

    General Comment:I reckon this song is about paranoia, caused by not conforming. As in, he thinks people are after HIM because he doesn't conform to their standards.

    General Comment:If you listen to the podcast Steve and Ed both say the song is from Dale Gribble's POV. So it is about King of the Hill. End of story.

    General Comment:This song is about going in for your annual checkup at the doctor's office and knowing there's something wrong.... The guy is worried and is paranoid about loosing his girlfriend. Because his 'problem' (gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash) will... concern her... to say the least. XD

    General Comment:I don't think the song has anything to do with King of the hill, they just decided to put that in the music video cause it's funny and BNL are funny people.

    Just remember that just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

    General Comment:Could this video be about Dale Gribble? I know it mentions a girlfriend whereas he has a wife...but still.

    General Comment:It is a hilarious song. And epp88 is right about what going on. It's funnier if you see the music video. It has Dale from King of the Hill on it and all that same sort of stuff going on.

    General Comment:I love it. its about cracking up. he thinks that everyone's trying to steal his girlfriend, that the government is after him, and that people are out to kill him. Actually everything is fine, and he gets in line at the phychatrists office, where he gets help
