Analysis of The sociopath next door
Khloie Wallace 1996 (Chicago)
The sociopath next door
He said he wanted war
He poured me a cup
And walked out the door
The sociopath next door
Just pushed me to the floor
And when I got up
He acted unsure
The sociopath next door
Has a way with his words
Makes you feel crazy
You will never feel heard
The sociopath next door
Has a way with your mind
He will get very abusive
Then he will act really kind
The sociopath next door
Never knows what he's doing
But he will figure it out faster
Than a well scripted movie
The sociopath next door
Don't walk near his door
It won't be very long..
Just run he gets off at 4.
