Look at that poor paranoid,
Spurned by life he can't avoid.
People say his case is chronic.
He says life's just more ironic.
"Protest me with all your fury;
 Give me reasons more to worry!
 I'll just sit back here and pout
 That there's things to pout about."
Paranoid gets hit again.
"Go ahead, then, give me pain!
 Everybody tries their best,
 Oh my GOD I'm so depressed!"
Person says, "A good idea."
Gives the paranoid's left knee a
Good hard kick that cracks the bone,
Paranoid don't even moan.
Paranoid just mourns his health:
"I brought that upon myself.
 I'm just like the rest, I see...
 And they're all out to get ME!"
So employed with hope destroyed,
All enjoyed gone null and void,
Pity that poor paranoid, rah, rah, rah.

                          and rust, or should I fall apart right here?"
