Paranoid State

If you leave the house you have to wear expensive clothes
 Or they'll say that you're up to no good
 If you look like money then you might be left alone
 These strange people don't act like they should
 You walk down that road they have to ask you where and why
 Details ready now never complain
 If you tell your story but they say it's all a lie
 You won't get enough time to explain
 Because you're living in a paranoid state
 Where they waste their time
 Spending all the money to keep you in line
 Because you're living in a paranoid state
 And the stakes are high
 They don't even know what they want to find
 They left you living in a paranoid state of mind
 If you've done nobody any harm but they're upset
 Every thing that you told them was true
 They get so uptight because they want you to forget
 Who's supposed to be working for who
 So you try to tell them what you think they want to hear
 But they're getting much harder to please
 'Cos it's all the same if they create a state of fear
 Then the cure is just like the disease
 And they watch you now, they want to charge your soul
 And they watch you now, they got you under control
 And they watch you now, because you know they should
 And they watch you now, they do it all for your good
