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

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

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

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

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

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

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
