Basket Case (cassette demo) Songtext
von 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 it

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?
Yeah, yeah, yeah


I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that′s bringing me down
I went to a whore
She said my life's a bore
So quit my whining 'cause it′s bringing her down

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?
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

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?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
