Lemmy told Rolling Stone,
It’s about going nuts. “Please tell me I’m kind/I’m out of my mind.” Just general nuts. What do I know about going nuts? I took acid for eight years. I know about going nuts. We wrote that one in the key of A, which was a little different for us. That song’s still in the s...
Shoot, shoot, shoot
Please tell me I'm kind
I'm out of my mind
And I'm telling you
It's not that I'm bad
I'm totally mad
I'm a boogaloo
I'm certain, I must be a burden
Completely over the top
Over the top
I don't know what it means

And I don't know whose
The nightmare's real
I got a raw deal
And it's all bad news
I swear it, I can't get it
Completely over the top
Over the top
You know it's no lie
My main alibi
It's a waste of time
You know it's the truth
The lyrics the proof
And at least it rhymes
You can have me, cause I'm barmy
Completely over the top
Over the top
