| Yesterday it was my birthday
|
| I hung one more year on the line
|
| I should be depressed
|
| My life’s a mess
|
| But I’m having a good time
|
| I’ve been loving and loving
|
| And loving
|
| I’m exhausted from loving so well
|
| I should go to bed
|
| But a voice in my head
|
| Says «Ah, what the hell»
|
| Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland
|
| But I think it’s all overdone
|
| Exaggerating this and exaggerating that
|
| They don’t have no fun
|
| I don’t believe what I read in the papers
|
| They’re just out to capture my dime
|
| I ain’t worrying
|
| And I ain’t scurrying
|
| Maybe I’m laughing my way to disaster
|
| Maybe my race has been run
|
| Maybe I’m blind
|
| To the fate of mankind
|
| But what can be done?
|
| So God bless the goods we was given
|
| And God bless the U.S. of A
|
| And God bless our standard of living
|
| Let’s keep it that way |
