lyrics

Manic
by John Morrill

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've 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 going 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?
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've got left is my Mustang and me
I'm going manic, what is wrong with me?
I'm going manic, was it the LSD?
