Send "I Am Citizen Insane" Ringtone to Cell

I'm Looking at you for a minute 900 people die
I'm Looking Away because! I did And you can't
Why? Because I'm looking back

I'm citizen insane
I'm citizen insane
I'm a citizen now
Look out! Danger is coming in

How could I. It is cold what is
Near? Look out Danger through me
In the pool no-one in but me
I'm citizen insane
I'm citizen insane

I'm a citizen now [Repeat: x 4]

Worry!

    General Comment:I believe this song to be about someone who has comfortably worked their way into just being an average citizen of society, but while living in this average, comfortable existence, they're afraid to face their fears, paranoia, and feelings deep down inside that bother them. As a consequence, they just run away.

    Sick beat this song has, by the way.

    General Comment:Consider me confused. Isn't this track instrumental or am I missing something?

    The instrumental version sounds like it belongs on The Eraser. Definitely not a bad thing...

    General Comment:Isnt just about paranoid people?? It is said that todays society is the socity of risking (or something like that).. Because we have so much freedom and we get to be so individual we get totally paranoid, and become insane citizens maybe?? i really dont know, was just taking a shot..

    General Comment:Well I assume 'Citizen Insane' is a reference to 'Citizen Kane', one of the proclaimed 'best films ever'. Other than that, I can't work out what the heck it could be about; it's too cryptic for me
