Just Because... Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Can't drink the water 

Can't breathe the air 

Can't hide down in the sewer 

'Cause there's crocodiles down there 

My hovel needs a barricade 

My pants need an alarm 

Need some non-alcoholic whiskey 

And some giuliani charm 

Just because you're paranoid 

Don't mean they're not out to get ya 

Just because you're paranoid 

Don't mean they're not out to get ya 

Don't look at me on the subway 

And I won't look at you 

Don't touch me with your greasy gloves 

And syphilitic flu 

Brain cancer causes cell phones 

Brain damage causes drugs 

I'm staying off the streets 'cause 

Gang war causes thugs 

Just because you're paranoid 

Don't mean they're not out to get ya 

Just because you're paranoid 

Don't mean they're not out to get ya 

Just because you're paranoid 

Don't mean they're not out to get ya 

Just because you're paranoid 

Don't mean they're not out to get ya
