Paranoid joy, I'm the decoy
Paranoid joy, I always disappoint
Paranoid joy, I can't avoid
Oh boy

Gambling to manage, trying to fathom my expense
Underestimates drop and I'm still left in debt
Waiting for the ideal dream to come along and please my needs
A lifestyle lenient enough to carry out my unplanned strategy

Stressing bout the future and what it holds
Can't foresee myself living untied
From this railroad

I'm convinced that I will fall apart before I can mold
Situated with a sickness at the thought of a retirement home
Strangling my crown, I guess it's the process of becoming bold
Sweat beads as these predictions start to unfold

Recognize your obligations and take notes
Otherwise your assumptions will remain
Unsolved

Paranoid joy, I'm the decoy
Paranoid joy, I always disappoint
Paranoid joy, I can't avoid
Oh boy
