Basketcase (Green Day cover) Lyrics
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
Or am I just stoned
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
He 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
Or am I just stoned
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
Or am I just stoned
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 my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned
So I better hold on
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned

i think its a pretty alright cover. and to the complainers saying 'OMG how dare she', she's allowed to sing the song if she likes it, isn't she? at least she didn't release it as a single or anything.
Ok, ok! I don't think people should be so keen to criticise Avril about covering a song. I mean, come on. She covered a song. She didn't release it as a single, she just sung it, perhaps because she LIKED the song? Did that occur to anyone, lol? If I was Green Day I would be honoured she wanted to sing it ^_^ And no, she HASN'T killed Basketcase, it's still just as great as it ever was, and her version isn't so bad anyhow. Now, please don't bite me. Everyone seems to like flaming each other on this site X.X
i think many come here for the sole purpose of venting their attitude
wtf, chill people...
it was just some random thing she decided to do at one of her concerts... that's probably why you can only find "live" versions of the song...
stupid..
How many of you have actually listened to this song? How many of you are just parroting the "LOL AVRIL IS A POSER" crap instead of thinking for yourselves? She's allowed to like this song, and she's allowed to sing it as part of her concert if she wants. If you're going to complain that every single cover ruins a song, we might as well make karaoke illegal.
This is a cover of Greenday's "Basketcase" by Avril Lavigne. It's a nicely done cover, but I've only been able to find a live version of it on Limewire.
Oh, I laughed and laughed when I heard this. What will the corporate pop machine find to recycle next?
hey... stfu. avril's cool.
What about her cover of System of a Down's chop suey?
She covered chop suey?! Another thing to laugh at her for! corporate bitch
