YOU'RE KILLIN'ME, YOUR MOUTH IS MOVIN'

BUT I CANNOT HEAR YOU SPEAK

LIFE'S A TRAGEDY. GO ON LIVIN'

IN A WORLD NOT FOR THE WEAK

KEEP YOUR DREAMS INSIDE YOUR HEART

NEVER LET THE PRESSURE TEAR YOU APART

TRUTH IS WHISPERED ON A BREATH

LOUD ENOUGH TO COVER THE SMELL OF DEATH



CHORUS

NEVER THOUGHT TOO IMPORTANT TO MENTION

LIVIN' THROUGH THE BIRTH, THE BIRTH OF

TENSION

NEVER THOUGHT TOO IMPORTANT TO MENTION

LIVIN' WITH THE TENSION, TENSION, TENSION.



DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND TOO MUCH TENSION,

SNAP

WHERE YOU LOSE YOUR GRIP

TOO MANY DEMANDS START AT BIRTH, SNAP

FROM THE BOMB YOU'RE RIPPED

LEAVE YOUR DREAMS INSIDE, BEHIND

NEVER HAD A REASON THAT YOU'LL NEVER

FIND

TENSION BUILDS ANOTHER WAY

GONNA MAKE YOU ALL GO AWAY



CHORUS

TOO MUCH TENSION, ALL AROUND

TOO MUCH TENSION, BRING YOU DOWN

ALL THE PRESSURES IN THE NARROW MIND

ALL THE REASONS YOU'LL NEVER FIND

DID YOU KILL YOUR FATHER,SLEEP WITH YOUR

MOTHER

IDOLIZE YOUR SISTER, JEALOUS YOUR BROTHER

DID YA KICK THE DOG, WERE YOU BEAT A STRAP

WERE YOU REALLY BE ABUSED, WERE YOU FAKIN'

ALL THAT

TOO TENSE



YOU'RE KILLIN' ME SO MANY WAYS

SO LITTLE TIME TO THINK

LIFE'S CATASTROPHE,MY GLASS EMPTY

AND I REALLY NEED A DRINK

MOVIN' ALL SO VERY QUICK

MOVIN' SO FAST THAT IT MAKES ME SICK

LET ME OUTTA HERE

LIVIN' AIN'T LIVIN' WITH THE TENSION AND

THE FEAR



CHORUS
