The Lyrics
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're *not* out to get you...
Schtumm! They're going to get you
FBI
Those guys never forget you
Not even when you die
Schtumm! They're all out to get you
CIA
Obscene schemes that these schemers scheme
Will get you some day
Some day you'll meet a guy in t'bar
And wake up having been flown far away, way
Where torture is customary
And rendition's extr'ordinary
That's why I say: stay
Schtumm! They're going to get you
MI5
Their conspiring won't let you
Get out of here alive
The KGB you should avoid
It sure helps being paranoid, you'll wind up
Your brain melting like lemon drops
At their electrodes' little shocks
A mental mind f**k
Schtumm! They're there waiting for you
MI6
Mulder, Scully, for sure knew
All of their little tricks
If Scully read in her X-Files
How they can get you
Why, oh why can't I?
FBI
Those guys never forget you
Not even when you die
Schtumm! They're all out to get you
CIA
Obscene schemes that these schemers scheme
Will get you some day
Some day you'll meet a guy in t'bar
And wake up having been flown far away, way
Where torture is customary
And rendition's extr'ordinary
That's why I say: stay
Schtumm! They're going to get you
MI5
Their conspiring won't let you
Get out of here alive
The KGB you should avoid
It sure helps being paranoid, you'll wind up
Your brain melting like lemon drops
At their electrodes' little shocks
A mental mind f**k
Schtumm! They're there waiting for you
MI6
Mulder, Scully, for sure knew
All of their little tricks
If Scully read in her X-Files
How they can get you
Why, oh why can't I?

If I leave a comment, will they be able to find me? I don't think so....AARGH! Black helicopters! (Oh, by the way, marvelous parody.)
poignancy meets paranoia in amusing fashion
Cockney slang day (or is it Yiddish) ?! Great dark take on the classic tune and proof that you\\'re not and never have been stchumm-bling \\'round in the dark! (PS: it makes me enter the security code at least 4 times and adds a backslash or three every time!)
Aren't Mulder and Scully too busy having kinky sex in thousands of fan-fic pornos to keep an eye on the Intelligence Bureaus? ;-)
I'm busting up
Good thing I use a pen name and no one knows who I am...oh, wait. Great stuff, Phil. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go format my hard drive and get a new identity...
What do you call someone who thinks they're all out to get you, not himself?
I clicked my heels three times and got you a five for each time. Then I heard Kansas...? Oh well, close enough.
:-) Thanks everyone
TJC - it's Yiddish - there are so many great words in Yiddish... hey, you've just given me an idea for a parody
Paradox - I don't know - "orthonoid" perhaps?
Merry - I must have missed that episode of the X-Files... got it on video?

Schtumm: that's not a word you come across every day. This was paranoid perfection. 555
