lyrics

Manic

I can't live in this society. Cause I hate the world and it hates me. People on the street look at me funny. Now all I got left is my Mustang and me.
I'm going manic. What is wrong with me? I'm going manic. And from a good family.
Get up every morning eat shit for my measly pay. And just to keep on living got to give it away. I'm goin' out tonight but I feel like such a goon. I hope I hope I hope I hope I die real soon.
I'm going manic. What is wrong with me? I'm going manic. What about my college degree? Oh…
I can't live in this society, ‘cause I hate the world and it hates me. People on the street look at me funny. You see now all I got left is my Mustang and me.
I'm going manic. What is wrong with me? I'm going manic. Was it the LSD?
