Yesterday it was my birthday
i hung one more year on the line
i should be depressed
my life's a mess
but i'm having a good time
I've been loving and loving
and loving
i'm exhausted from loving so well
i should go to bed
but a voice in my head
says “ah, what the hell”
Chorus: have a good time
Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland
but i think it's all overdone
exaggerating this exaggerating that
they don't have no fun
I don't believe what i read in the papers
they're just out to capture my dime
i ain't worrying
and i ain't scurrying
i'm having a good time
Chorus: have a good time
Maybe i'm laughing my way to disaster
maybe my race has been run
maybe i'm blind
to the fate of mankind
but what can be done?
So god bless the goods we was given
and god bless the u. s. of a.
and god bless the standard of livin'
let's keep it that way
and we'll all have a good time
Chorus: have a good time
