Country Crisis

It's been a lousy day and not a things gone right
Slam the door and kick the dog when I get home at night
Scream at my old lady when she says hello
She's got things to say that I don't wanna know.
Pressure's on at work and got me feelin' tense
Go to school at night and not a thing makes sense.
Read the paper and I see the end is near
Can't feel a thing but hate and envy, rage and fear.
Now here comes the straw that broke the camel's back
Under too much pressure and I'll start to crack.
Better back off buddy, leave my ass alone
I'm loaded like a powder keg, good god I feel a crisis coming on.

Wife believes she's pregnant, I don't want no kids.
Am I being punished for some thing I did.
Says that when it comes she'll have to quit her job
Stay at home all day and watch the little slob.
Sinking in my debt and all the moneys gone.
Letter from the bank that says I'm overdrawn.
The whole damn world's against me and I'm all alone.
Don't stand a chance, I'm too far gone
Lookout I feel a crisis coming on.

I'm gonna tear my clothes off and go screaming down the block
Go get some thorazine and some electro-shock.
Gonna tell reality to go to hell
Sit back and take it easy in my padded cell.

I ain't ashamed to say that I refuse to cope
'Cause I feel so much better since I gave up hope.
Life has been a breeze now that my mind is blown
'Cause the nurses all take care of me
Got no responsibility
No pressure and no right and wrong
And never any crisis coming on.
