Keep on takin' your medication, Lock that temper behind those pills Your brain is fryin' insanely flyin' Just remember it's bad to kill I go with a psycho, I go with a psycho Stop your growlin', no more prowlin' Leave those cars and people alone You're an animal, a human cannibal Snarlin' and a snappin' like a dog on a bone I go with a psycho, I go with a psycho You terrify the neighbors when you scream and shout You look like it's contagious, you're foaming at the mouth You're a freakin' nightmare when you're lying in my bed You sleep with eyes wide open, like the livin' dead I go with a psycho, I go with a psycho
