[Verse: Dizzee Rascal]
I wake up everyday, it's a daydream
Everything in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I gotta get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me

[Verse: Dizzee Rascal]
I wake up everyday, it's a daydream
Everything in my life ain't what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I'm in too deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
A heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says that I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip (Bonkers!)
[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]
Some people think I'm bonkers
But I just think I'm free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills
But I get mine for free
Man, I'm just living my life
There's nothing crazy about me
[Breakdown: Dizzee Rascal]
Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
(I'm melting, yeah, back in, back in, back in)

Everybody says that I got to get a grip

Bon-bon-bon-bon-bon-bon-bon-bon
[Chorus: Dizzee Rascal]
Some people think I'm bonkers

Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
Mmm, yeah, I'm back in the floor now
