Lyrics

1. PARANOID

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me, occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness,
I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late


2. EVIL WOMAN, DON'T PLAY YOUR GAMES WITH ME

I see the look of evil in your eyes
You've been filling me all full of lies
Sorrow will not change your shameful deed
You will bear someone else's fertile seed

Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me

Now I know just what you're looking for
You want me to claim this child you bore
Well you know that it was he, not me
And you know the way it's got to be

Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with

Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me

Wickedness lies in your moistened lips
Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
Black cat sleeps atop of your satin bed
You sure wish that you could see me dead

Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me
Evil woman don't you play your games with me


3. WICKED WORLD

The world today is such a wicked place
Fighting going on between the human race
People got to work just to earn their bread
While people just across the sea
Are counting their dead

A politician's job they say is very high
'Cos he has to choose who's got to go and die
They can put a man on the moon quite easy
While people here on earth are dying of old diseases

A woman goes to work every day after day
She just goes to work just to earn her pay
Child sitting crying by a life that's harder
He doesn't even know who is his father
