The Kinks - Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues (Live) Lyrics

I'm too terrified to walk out of my own front door
They're demonstrating outside
I think they're gonna start the third world war

And I've been to my local head shrinker
To help classify my disease
He said, it's one of the many cases
Of acute schizophrenia he sees

Well, the milkman's a spy
And the grocer keeps on following me
And the woman next door's
An undercover for the K.G.B.

Man from the social security
Keeps on invading my privacy
Oh, there ain't no cure for
Acute schizophrenia disease

I've got acute schizophrenia, paranoia too
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose
Acute schizophrenia blues

Lost on the river, the river of no return
I can't make decisions
I don't know which way I'm gonna turn

Even my old dad
Lost some of the best friends he ever had
Apparently
His was a case of acute schizophrenia too

I've got acute schizophrenia, paranoia too
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose

They're watching my house
They're tapping my telephone
I can't trust nobody
But I'm much too scared to be on my own

There ain't no satisfaction and there ain't no [Incomprehensible]
No, there ain't no cure for acute schizophrenia disease
No, there ain't no cure for schizophrenia disease
