Do the Paranoid Style Lyrics

[Chorus]
Hey, let's jump around
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey, get upside down
To the American sound of the paranoid style

[Verse 1]
Everybody, have you heard the news? The old dance with wicked moves
It's been around for many a year, so polish up your granddad's gear
And shake, shake, shake with fear, waive your rights like you just don't care
Anyone can do it, it's easy if you dare

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the paranoid style in American politics
Casey Jones, you better watch your apocalypse
Illumination and fluoridation
Are communist plots against the population

[Chorus]
Hey, let's jump around
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey, get upside down
To the American sound of the paranoid style

[Verse 2]
Hey, kids on the right and left, do you feel dispossessed?
If you're on the left or right, I feel your pain tonight
So shake off reality, it's easy as you please
Soon everyone is dancing conspiratorially

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the paranoid style in American politics
Casey Jones, you better watch your apocalypse
All kinds of wild interpretation
Are open to the paranoid imagination, shamone

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Hey, let's jump around
To the renegade sound of the paranoid style
Hey, get upside down
To the American sound of the paranoid style
