[Green Day - Basket Case lyrics]

Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it

Sometimes, I give myself the creeps
Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned?

And I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
And I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining 'cause
It's bringing her down

Sometimes, I give myself the creeps
Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up am I just paranoid?
Huh yeah, yeah (Ooh, ooh)

Grasping to control so I better hold on

Sometimes, I give myself the creeps
Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned?
