stress

lyric + music by skylark + maurice white

 

woke up too late

mad dashing still late

my heart pound and my head throb

i’m bout to lose my job

new bills and new debt

no cash and no check

man here to collect

his breath is on my neck

i keep pushing against the pain

i get the feeling i’m walking in the fast lane

stress

economic

supersonic

every minute

they got me living in it

sky-high tax rate

skinheads preach hate

poor folks in a bread line

plane crash in a great big headline

cars stopping no gas

my heartbeat is too fast

doc says “no sweets”

i can’t trust the food i eat

i got the bill for my telephone

e.t. must be using it to call home

stress

economic

supersonic

every minute

they got me living in it
