|
A thorn in my side, a chip on my shoulder |
|
A lump in my throat, the size of a boulder |
|
The chill up my spine, can't get any colder |
|
And you wonder why I can't smile |
|
A knot in my gut, an ape on my back |
|
In the heat of the moment |
|
I'm knocked off the track |
|
You drop the ball, I pick up the slack |
|
And you ask me why my hair's gray |
|
Twisting, turning |
|
Losing all sense of yearning |
|
Living and learning |
|
The pressure keeps on burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
I say it's green and then you tell me it's red |
|
Keep your thoughts and ideas |
|
Locked inside of your head |
|
We've got someone |
|
Who can think for you instead |
|
And he sounds just like the last one |
|
Twisting, turning |
|
Losing all sense of yearning |
|
Living and learning |
|
The pressure keeps on burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Responsible thinkers |
|
Throw caution to the wind |
|
But I find myself |
|
Speaking from within |
|
I can't live my life |
|
Walking on eggshells |
|
To stay on your good side |
|
Using your words |
|
Controlling my life |
|
Can't you see it's my words |
|
That gives you your life |
|
So I hurt your feelings |
|
Well I'm really sorry |
|
But I don't give a shit, no... |
|
Twisting, turning |
|
Losing all sense of yearning |
|
Living and learning |
|
The pressure keeps on burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul |
|
Burning my soul, yeah |
