Spot the Psycho
Cornbugs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you be mine
I'll take your brain
You take my spine
I′ll take your feet
You take my eyes
And we'll lie back
Stare at the skies
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
He's over here
He′s over there
He′s in your easy chair
Wow!
Might be your mom
Might be your dad
Gas station attendant
Or a college grad
Might be the president
Or a man in jail
So spot the psycho
He brings the mail
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
She's over here
She′s over there
She's in your underwear
Ahh!
He killed a dog
He killed a cat
His only friend′s a vampire bat
His brain is fried like a double egg
He's got a knife
He′ll make you beg
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
He's over here
He's over there
He′s in your easy chair
Wow!
Spot the psycho, spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
I′ll be your friend
And you be mine
I'll take your brain
You take my spine
I′ll take your feet
You take my eyes
And we'll lie back
Stare at the skies
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
He′s over here
He's over there
He′s in your easy chair
Ahh!
Might be your mom
Might be your dad
Gas station attendant
College grad
Might be president
Man in jail
Spot the psycho
Do not fail
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
Spot the psycho
He's over here
He's over there
She′s in your underwear
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ahh
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yahh
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yahh
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yahh
The lyrics of Cornbugs's song "Spot the Psycho" depict a twisted and unsettling message about the presence of psychopaths in society.

The chorus urges the listener to spot the psycho, as they could be anyone, from the president to a gas station attendant. The second verse provides specific information about the psycho, who is shown to be dangerous and unpredictable. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the need to identify and avoid psychopaths in society.
The lyrics of "Spot the Psycho" highlight the themes of paranoia and fear, as well as the dangers of not recognizing and addressing mental illness. The song can be interpreted as a warning against the dangers of ignoring the signs of mental health problems, which can lead to violent and dangerous behavior.
