The news has got me paranoid
Papers and the news reports
Casualties of every war
The anchor people keeping score
The weapons now are chemicals
In water and in air above
In circulating envelopes
In powder through the postal routes

The threat of a disease is here
We nipped it once without a cure
It took forever until it stopped
Through mandatory needle shots
They gave us all a little dose
To teach our bodies how to cope
Finally when we had it licked
Some terrorists are back with it

The propaganda's working now
I'm falling for it hook and reel
I'm stocking up on medicine
Buying tape to seal us off
In

Paranoia!

Paranoiattack
Paranoiawar
Paranoia sinks like a bomb

Paranoiathreat
Paranoiaffect
Paranoia drops bombs

(Bombs)

Paranoia!

    General Comment:Yeah I saw this live. It was excellent, an obvious slam on the bush administration, and a great dance song! I hope everyone who loves the song gets it though. Haha, "buying tape to seal us off" - now that was ridiculous. Remember all that duck tape safety stuff? (ready.gov) Mmmmm propaganda.

    General Comment:yah when you see them live they have screens in the background that show videos of random stuff. and the whole time this song was playing there were jets taking off and news reports with bad stuff on it. also he said "everyone go out and vote" before it started.

    Just saw them again 1 week ago, it kicked ass.

    General Comment:This song is kickass. Obvious meaning, the singer hears from the media about how anything and everything will kill him, so he gets an intense feeling of paranoia. A possible slam on the Bush administration for all their terror alerts as well.
