We will destroy everything within your land
If your country is filled with caves and sand
Quietly wipe out your race
For just a chance to catch the ace
Even the slightest trace could come back and lay us to waste
We’re living in paranoid times (paranoid times)
An unmarked room for an unknown crime
Charges against you will never be made formal
There’s a blanket clause that allows
This sort of thing to be normal
We can torture and entrap
Everything perceived as a threat
A nation snugly kept in check
By unfit minds in a cold sweat
We’re living in paranoid times (paranoid times)
An unmarked room for an unknown crime
Paranoid Times!
