Bonkers Lyrics
I wake up, every day is a daydream
Everything in my life isn't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Bonkers
I wake up, every day is a daydream
Everything in my life isn't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
(Yeah)
(Cutting up the floor now)
I wake up, every day is a daydream
Everything in my life isn't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
Bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Everything in my life isn't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Everything in my life isn't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills but I get mine for free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
(Cutting up the floor now)
Everything in my life isn't what it seems

To summarise it's basically about how dangerous yet exciting fame can be
I LOVE this song, I think it's going to be big. Can't wait for Dizzee's new album!
@x_darkened_skies_x went to number 1!!!

Haha, this song is HUGE where I live, with my age group at least :P I love it! Gets us pumped for a night out wooooo
Man!!!! I f**kin' love this tune. I've gotta be honest, I'd never really listened to much of Dizzee Rascal's song's before this cause it's not really the kind of music that I'm into but from the very 1st time I heard Bonkers, I just love it.
It's one of those tracks, I suppose that you're either gonna love it or hate it but when I listen to it, it just makes me want to go mental!!!!
The lyrics are quality. "I let sanity give me the slip!!" hehehehehe!!!
I suppose it just sums up exactly how I feel as do, millions of other people about music. I'm into trance but it's exactly the same, regardless of what kind of music you're into.
"A Heavy Bassline is my Kind of Silence!!!!!"
no its basically about dizzee bein a prick and making a bad impression on young kids. "And all I care about is sex and violence" is not something that impressionable children should be hearing.
only 5 (well, now 6...) comments?! wow! anyways, i sort of agree with kibby3188. it well could be about dizzee saying that 'yes, i knows i'm a total prick, or i'm BONKERS, and giving kids the wrong impression.' he's just repeating what people think of him in first instead of third? look at this, i've just replace all the i's and stuff with dizzee's.
Dizzee wake up, every day is a daydream Everything in his life isn't what it seems He wakes up just to go back to sleep Dizzee Rascal act real shallow but i think he's in in too deep And all Dizzee care about is sex and violence And a heavy bass line is his kind of silence Dizzee has got to get a grip But he just lets sanity give him the slip
Some people think Dizzee Rascal's bonkers But he just think he's free Man, he's just living his life There's nothing crazy about me Some people pay for thrills but he gets his for free Man, he's just living his life There's nothing crazy about me
Wow when people say I they mean themselves... deep. XD

hey if you guys think this music is a bad influence on kids then DON'T LET THEM LISTEN TO IT. it's very simple, I mean, it wasn't aimed at kids or written for kids.
@maddybored the majority of music from Bob Dylan to The Beatles wasn't written for kids. It is more important to ensure your children are well rounded and understand the intentions of such lyrics than try to "hide" it from them. Ignorance is NOT bliss!
