Paranoid's Lament

[JRH]

Paranoid's Lament

They're out to get me.
They're out to get me.
They're out to get me
If they can.

The cops want to bust me.
My boss....he don't trust me.
They're out to get me
If they can.

My friends chase my honeys.
The girls just want my money.
They're out to get me
If they can.

But I'm my own man.
I see through all their scams.
I'll outsmart them,
Each and every one.

They all have their plans,
But when I play my hand....
I'll come out on top
When the day is done
Yes. I'll come out on top
When the day is done.

They're out to get me.
They're out to get me.
They're out to get me
If they can.

The pious want to save me.
The rich try to enslave me.
They're out to get me
If they can,

So, let them keep trying.
Just let them keep trying.
I'll come out the winner
in the end.
Yes, I'll come out the winner
in the end.

They're out to get me.
They're out to get me.
They're out to get me
If they can.

They're out to get me.
They're out to get me.
They're out to get me
If they can.....

If they can.....
If they can.
