The Stress

The Stress
1. The Stress



The Stress
(verse 1)
the stress is bad
(the big man is in the wrong)
the stress is bad
(the little man's in pain)

out of time, I have to be at work
out of time, I cannot sleep a single wink
out of time, grab a quick bite to eat
out of time, ahh out of the fryer into the heat

this rat race turned into a marathon
everyone wants to get out of the bottom
perfectly in my waitress costume
low wages will lead me to doom

(chorus)
the stress is bad
the little man is always left to stew
the stress is bad
I'm losing hair and stuck like glue
the stress is bad
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
who cares if I can't pay my bills?
who cares if I lost all my will?
who cares if my boss is a bitch?
who cares if luxury is out of my reach?

the rich dangle a carrot in front of us
keeping their thumbs on our face
we should rise up and start a coup
but there's just so much work to do

(chorus)
the stress is bad
the little man is always left to stew
the stress is bad
I'm losing hair and stuck like glue
the stress is bad
who will come to my rescue?
why must you do what they request of you
a dollar won't save your soul
or keep you from getting old
or make the wrong into right
the stress is bad
the little man is always left to stew
the stress is bad
I'm losing hair and stuck like glue
the stress is bad
(end chorus)

(bridge)
ah ah ah ah
I'm on my break
I'm on my break
leave me alone
effects
leave me alone

(chorus)
from here on out
we'll have artistic freedom
the stress is bad
the little man is always left to stew
the stress is bad
I'm losing hair and stuck like glue
the stress is bad
we'll give the boss the finger
the stress is bad
effects
(end chorus)

The Other Side of Goodbye

The Other Side of Goodbye 1.  The Other Side of Goodbye The Other Side of Goodbye (verse 1) I can't say I'm not thankful when I look through my old photo album I know I've acted ungrateful but all I'm seeing is tears, laughter, and memories we all passed down our legends it was like those decades lasted just seconds a lifetime that lasts eternity but all I'm seeing is tears, laughter, and memories (chorus) a last song for you, last song for you a little blue, but I promise it'll always feel brand new a last song for you, last song for you in my mind, you'll walk through the same door like you always do I swear I loved this place I swear I loved every face I swear on this melody, I swear we were in harmony we shared enemies, we cared so friendly it was then that I learned everything's not in black and white thank you for kindness, thank you for your tenderness thank you for smile, thank you for your love thank you for everything this goodbye has another s...

Unrequited Finally

Unrequited Finally 1. Unrequited Finally Unrequited Finally (verse 1) you and I together made a solemn unspoken oath a secret never told is the very one best kept I shy away when our eyes suddenly meet like I've got a secret identity that I've just got to keep I long to get out of here and feel the spring air at night I can dream only of your long hair we snuck off when no one was looking now you act like you don't know me what is all of this? (chorus) I like that, but why do I like that? my first fantasy and my last taste of love my feelings awakened and fell from above my heart burst from happiness like an attack I like that, but why do I like that? you moved on, but I'm still stuck just chop it up to being romantically sick this is what's called unrequited love finally (end chorus) (verse 2) the lips you kissed are forever sealed shut but they pinned me against the tiled bathroom wall your friends raised eyebrows and asked questions you said not to worry because ...
