     G                     C        D          G
I'm too terrified to walk out of my own front door
                C
They're demonstrating outside
                 D                           G
I think they're gonna start the third world war
      C                      G
I've been to my local headshrinker
          B7           C   C#dim
To help classify my disease
             D7
He said it's one of the cases of
                        G
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.,
And the man from the Social Security
Keeps on invading my privacy
Oh there ain't no cure for
acute schizophrenia disease

Chorus:
          D                           G
I've got acute schizophrenia paranoia too
D
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
C           C#dim          D
I've got it, you've got it, we can't lose
 D                  G
Acute schizophrenia blues

I'm 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

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

They're watching my house and they're
tapping my telephone
I don't trust nobody, but I'm much
too scared to be on my own
And the income tax collector has
got his beady eyes on me
No there ain't no cure for acute
schizophrenia disease

No there ain't no cure for
Schizophrenia disease
