| (Verse 1)This thing is just not workin'
But I've got a mental block But, I'm stuck to my perception And I'm afraid of your rejection I'll meet you in the padded cell Strap me down, switch on the current Oh please, give me another injection I'm afraid of your inspection (Chorus) I've got the new neurosis I've got the new neurosis I've got the neurosis (Verse 2) This excision hurts my function You control my behavior Isolation with anxiety I can’t (sublimate?) this energy This thing is just not workin' And I've got a mental block But, I'm stuck to my perception And I'm afraid of your rejection (Chorus) I've got the new neurosis I've got the new neurosis I've got the neurosis |
