From All The Unborn Chicken Voices In My Head
What's That? (My Name Is Paranoid I Am Your Android)
What's That? (My Name Is Paranoid I Am Your Android)
When I Am King You Will Be First Against The Wall
With Your Opinion Which Is Of No Consequence At All
What's That? (My Name Is Paranoid I Am Your Android)
What's That? (My Name Is Paranoid I Am Your Android)
Kicking Squealing Gucci Little Piggy
You Don't Remember
You Don't Remember
Why Don't You Remember My Name?
Off With His Head Man
Off With His Head Man
Why Won't He Remember My Name? I Guess He Does
Rain Down
Rain Down
Come On Rain Down
On Me
From A Great Height
From A Great Height Height
Rain Down

Come On Rain Down
On Me
From A Great Height

That's It Sir
You're Leaving
The Crackle Of Pig Skin
The Dust And The Screaming
The Yuppies Networking
The Panic The Vomit

God Loves His Children
God Loves His Children Yeah
The opening line of "Please Could You Stop The Noises I'm Trying To Get Some Rest" in Rockabye Baby!'s song Paranoid Android sets the tone for the song as someone who is dealing with inner turmoil and trying to find a moment of peace. The line "From All The Unborn Chicken Voices In My Head" creates a surreal imagery that makes the listener question the context of the lyrics. When the Android says "My Name Is Paranoid I Am Your Android" it introduces an element of detachment from reality. The character seems to be dealing with schizophrenia, or some other mental illness that is making them feel disconnected from their own body.
In the later verses, the character becomes angrier and more violent. The line "When I Am King You Will Be First Against The Wall" suggests a deep hatred for someone or something, and the following line "With Your Opinion Which Is Of No Consequence At All" implies that the character feels like they are not being heard. The repeated phrases of "Rain Down" and "From A Great Height" add to the chaotic nature of the song, with possibly suicidal tendencies.
Overall, Paranoid Android seems to be a commentary on the modern social structure, with the character feeling disconnected from the world. The line "God Loves His Children" offers a glimmer of hope but followed by the word "Yeah" leaves an air of uncertainty.
