Lyrics to Basket Case by Green Day
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
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 am I just stoned?
I went a shrink to analyse my dreams
She said 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 cuz its bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays trick on me
It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid ah yeah yeah yeah
Oy oy
Grasping to control
So I’d better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays trick on me
It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up
Am I just paranoid am I just stoned?
