Paranoid Android
Radiohead · Radiohead: The Best Of [2008]
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an 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...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking and 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 don't you 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, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height... height...
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
That's it sir
You're leaving
The crackle of pigskin
The dust and the screaming
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit
The panic, the vomit
God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah!

It features a distinctive blend of electronic textures and gritty guitar work, characteristic of the band's innovative approach to sound during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The piece has become a staple in the discography of influential British bands, often cited for its atmospheric depth and structural ambition. Its enduring popularity reflects the band's ability to push boundaries while maintaining a cohesive artistic vision across their catalog.
