Song 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

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
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?
A ya-ya-ya

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?

Hm.. Well, I'll have the rating to speak for me.. I don't like to comment Green Day, 'cause someone might get me wrong and think I like them.. (and apart from many others, I rate honestly )

I Love this song so much. I'm actually influenced by the way they write they are pretty good music. It's a good song when you really needa get something out of your head.

You should hear the Bullet in a Bible version of this song. It truly represents what Green Day is capable of.

This song is funny. I love the second chorus when he says, "I'm I just paranoid or yayaya!" You cand even make out a single word in that part, lol.

They used to be so good. Take off the damn eyeliner and quit whining Green Day. I want the band I fell in love with back!
