Stress Lyrics
Oh yeah...
Comin' at 'cha...
I'm addicted to stress that's the way that I get things done
If I'm not under pressure than I sleep to long
And I hang around like a bum.
I think I'm going nowhere
And that makes me nervous.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright, everybody's thinkin' 'bout me.
It's the little things that get 'cha
It's the little things that get 'cha when you work in addition
It's the little things that get 'cha
It's the little things that get 'cha
It's the little things that get 'cha
I'm tryin' to cut down on my caffine,
So when I get up
I just have one cup of coffee
And I'd like to have another cup of coffee with my breakfast.
And on the way to work, I like to get a cup of coffee.
And I like the kind of coffee you get with a doughnut
So when I get a doughnut, I get a cup of coffee.
And when I get to work I like to have a cup of coffee
Cuz I like to have coffee when I'm talkin' on the phone.
And when it get's a little cold I like to have another cup of coffee.
And when it's lunch, I have an expresso.
When I get back
It's not morning anymore so I have a diet cola, and another diet cola.
And then I'm feelin' fine and I'm feeling pretty sharp
And I'm feelin' pretty wired and I'm gettin' things done.
But right about two I get this little tiny migrane.
It's starts in my eyes then it moves to the back of my neck
And moves to the bottem of my spine.
But it doesn't get there to about five or six o'clock which is the end of the day.
So I'm fine.
So I'm fine!
SO I'M FINE!
So I'm fine, so I'm fine.
Except when I have to work late, when I have to work late,
Which I usually do.
I'm addicted to stress that's the way that I get things done
If I'm not under pressure than I sleep to long
And I hang around like a bum.
I think I'm going nowhere
And that makes me nervous.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright, everybody's thinkin' 'bout me.
(Hey how ya doin'?)
*TRUMPET*
(Lookin' good!)
*TRUMPET*
(Hey, you've been workin' out?)
*TRUMPET*
(Yeah I can tell...)
*TRUMPET*
(Alright see you later!)
I love to work
I love to run
I love to play real hard.
I love to steal little things from the grocery store, like a piece of bubble gum
Or sometimes I just stick my thumb in a peach...and leave it there.
I love to work
I love to run
I love to waterski
Snowboard
Jetski
Skydrive
Parasail
Hanglide
Rollerblade
Mountain bike
Bungee jump
Well I mean I'd love to do these things...if I ever had the time...
I love to work
I love to work
I love to work out.
I love to spend a little time with this woman I'm seeing except...we never get the time
To spend together so we call each other up and we talk about work.
But what I think I'd really love
Is to get up by myself on a little tiny island in the middle of the ocean.
With just me and a book and a cellular phone
And a personal computer (incase something came up).
And I'd eat and I'd drink
And I'd run and I'd sleep and
I wouldn't do nothin' but swim all day 'cept but now
A beeper doesn't work underwater.
And where are the sharks?
WHERE ARE THE SHARKS?
WHERE ARE THE SHARKS?!
WHERE ARE THE SHARKS?!!
It's that kind of enimeny that sticks in your foot,
And the posion goes up to your brain and ya die!
And sand please!
SAND PLEASE!
YUK! (but)
Actually I think it'd be kind of relaxing,
Just to be by myself in the middle of the ocean.
And that's what I'd love to do more than anything else 'cept...I'd probably hate it.
I'm addicted to stress that's the way that I get things done
If I'm not under pressure than I sleep to long
And I hang around like a bum.
I think I'm going nowhere
And that makes me nervous.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright, everybody's thinkin' 'bout me.
But I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel ALRIGHT
Everybody's thinkin' bout me...
But I feel alright
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
EVERYBODY

Comin' at 'cha...
If I'm not under pressure than I sleep to long
And I hang around like a bum.
I think I'm going nowhere
And that makes me nervous.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright.
Everybody's out to get me but I feel alright, everybody's thinkin' 'bout me.

What does he mean by "Everybody is out to get me"?
It's his eighth cup of coffee by that point and he's getting paranoid.
It's his eighth cup of coffee by that point and he's getting paranoid.
Friday afternoon. 4:45 pm. Scream this song at the top of your lungs.
The meaning of this song seems pretty straight forward. It's a great song, and really hits the nail on the head on the subject of daily life for some of us. I know I can empathize with alot of what he talks about.
I love this song, it's a lot of fun. It certainly demonstrates what a stress-filled world we live in.
"anenome" It's that underwater sessile animal that looks like a flower.
It's about the stress of our world, thank god for Jim sterling
