Don't Make Fun of a Paranoid

WELL. DON’T MAKE FUN OF A PARANOID  WHEN HE’S FEELING BLUE
HE’S REAL BRIGHT AND HE’S SKEPTICAL AND HE’LL COME AFTER YOU!!!
HE’LL SCARE HIMSELF IN THE PRIVACY OF HIS WELL PROTECTED MIND
THE NEXT THING HE MAY SAY TO YOU COULD BE MOST UNKIND!!!

“I’M OKAY . . . YOU ARE NOT” IS THE CREED THAT SKEPTICS TAKE
YOU CAN ARGUE ALL YOU WANT TO BUT YOU’RE MAKING  BIG MISTAKE
THE CONCLUSION’S BEEN CONCLUDED
NOT CROSS-REFERENCED FOR THE FACTS
AND THE CONVERSATION’S OVER BEFORE YOU CAN ANSWER BACK 

DON’T TRUST, DON’T FEEL, DON’T BE A CHILD
DON’T BE CLOSE AND DON’T BELONG
BE STRONG AND PERFECT ALL THE TIME AND NEVER EVER WRONG
IF YOU FEEL ATTACKED FOR WHAT YOU’VE DONE OR WHAT YOU’VE THOUGHT
IDENTIFY, AND THEN DESTROY . . . ATTACK WITH ALL YOU’VE GOT!!!

SO  . . DON’T MAKE FUN OF A PARANOID  WHEN HE’S TIRED OR HE’S CROSS
IF YOU DO, MY FRIEND, I’D SAY YOU’D BETTER CHALK IT UP FOR LOST
CAUSE A PARANOID WILL RECALL EACH SINGLE TINY THING YOU DO
AND USE IT ALL TO JUSTIFY GETTING RID OF YOU!!!

 WELL, A PARANOID IS BRILLIANT . . . A THINKER ON HIS FEET
A LONER. . . HE IS SKEPTICAL  OF EVERYONE HE MEETS
DON’T YOU TRY TO “SCHMOOZE” OR SWEET TALK HIM
HE’LL ONLY SHOOT YOU DOWN
WITH A BLAST OF RIGID RATIONALE
THAT WILL KNOCK YOU TO THE GROUND!!

DON’T QUESTION WHAT HE SAYS OR DOES, OR SCRUTINIZE HIS ACTS
HE’LL “MAULS YOU” WITH AN ONSLAUGHT OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTS
AND THE RATIONALE HE’LL USE   
MAY FILL YOUR HEART WITH FEAR AND DREAD
REMEMBER,  HE WAS JUST SMALL BABY
DROPPED TOO OFTEN . . . ON HIS BABY HEAD!!!

A PARANOID IS SKEPTICAL . . . HE PLANS HIS MISSIONS WELL
HE’LL SPOT A FLAW  FROM HALF A MILE AND  BLOW IT ALL TO HELL
BUT HE’LL ALWAYS SEEM TO MISS THE POINT WHEN YOU TRY TO PLAY AROUND
A PARANOID WILL TAKE YOUR HEART . . . AND SMASH IT ON THE GROUND 

IN MEDIEVAL GERMANY     
KNIGHTS FOUGHT WITH THEIR FOES
IN ARMAMENT THAT BURDENED THEM
FROM THEIR HEADS DOWN TO THEIR TOES 

WELL, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A BRILLIANT-SKEPTIC
HELP WITH THAT DESIGN . . . AS WELL AS
CASTLES, MOATS AND DRAW BRIDGES
UP AND DOWN THE RHINE

HE’S BRILLIANT IN HIS LOGIC . . . HE’S A MARVEL AND HE’S TOUGH
BUT DON’T YOU TRY TO GET TOO CLOSE
ARM’S LENGTH IS CLOSE ENOUGH
DON’T TRY TO SCALE THOSE CASTLE WALLS TO QUICKLY OR I SAY
YOU’LL BE STONED AND SHOT AND BOILED IN OIL AND SENT UPON YOUR WAY
