And it’s on
Another stressful day, I’ve got five more things jumpin’ in my way
And nothin’ seems to be pannin’ out, as I find myself somewhat stranded down
So blue
That’s the way it is, not enough time to complete my biz
Here to there it’s a frantic race, loose my breath with this hectic pace
Though I
Try with all my might, to relax but I’m so uptight
With all these things that I’m tryin’ to be, not enough of me to try and live that dream
And I
Can’t seem to win, one more time here we go again
My blood pressure, rising, so high
Chorus
And I
Said let it fade
There’s another day
Baby, take your time
Try to slow your stride
Try to slow your stride
Eight O’clock
And I’m late again, boss for sure gonna have my skin
Traffic jam holding me locked at bay, no better way here to start my day
So I
Freak way down inside, frustration this is no lie
All I need is a little break, cut me some slack, now for heaven’s sake
What gives?
Just no way to live, dodging blows, throws cuts and digs
Routine so dumb, why can’t it change? Easygoing way is all to strange
And I
Can’t seem to win, one more time here we go again
My blood pressure, rising, so high
Chorus
Oh man,
How can this be? Locked my door but forgot my keys
Everything that you needs inside, your hands are tied and you want to die
And you
Baby right behind, gotta hear your grief like I need that jive
Everythin’ is just crashin’ down and I’m drownin’ here just splashin’ round
I quit!
Enough of this shit, my brain won’t work my heart has split
You people just won’t let me be, must be a better way now help me please
And I
Can’t seem to win, one more time here we go again
My blood pressure, rising, so high
Chorus
