[Verse 1]
I'm about to have a nervous breakdown
My head really hurts
If I don't find a way out of here
I'm gonna go berserk

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
It's going berserk

[Verse 2]
I hear the same old talk, talk, talk
The same old lines
Don't do me that today
Yeah, if you know what's good for you, you'll get out of my way

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm crazy and I'm hurt
Head on my shoulders
Going berserk

[Verse 3]
I won't apologize
For acting outta line
You see the way I am
You leave any time you can
