[Chorus]
Paranoid joy
I'm the decoy
Paranoid joy
I always disappoint
Paranoid joy
I can't avoid
Oh boy

[Verse 1]
Gambling to manage, trying to fathom my expense
Under estimates 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 to carry out my unplanned strategy

[Bridge 1]
Stressing bout the future and what it holds
Can't foresee myself living untied
From this railroad

[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge 2]
Recognize your obligations and take notes
Otherwise your assumptions will remain
Unsolved

[Chorus]
Paranoid joy
I'm the decoy
Paranoid joy
I always disappoint
Paranoid joy
I can't avoid
Oh boy
