lyrics

I read about worldwide collapse
The subject line, it's in all-caps
And it says, "Dear friend,
How are you, how are you, how are you?"

I don't mind doing my share of labor
Now all it is is talking to neighbors
And they say, "Hey you,
Come back here, come back here, come back here"

But I let somebody take a sample
So they can figure out the problem

Part-time witches darkening the dance hall
Backseat drivers born to do their worst
But now I have to worry about cholesterol
Oh, if they don't get me first

I don't push buttons
I don't cross lines
I pay my rent
And parking fines
And I say, "My god,
You want this, you want this, you want this?"

It's no simple case
Of paranoia
I need my mom
I want my lawyer
And he says, "My son,
It haunts me, it haunts me, it haunts me"

But I let somebody take a sample
So they can figure out the problem

Souped up adolescents playing hardball
Preaching from the blessed and the cursed
But now I have to worry about cholesterol
Oh, if they don't get me...

When I'm holed up alone, I wonder if it's just me
Then I open the door, in a moment I see

It's no surprise
It's in the rider
Now they look at me
Like I'm covered in spiders
And they say, "Yeah sure,
Whatever, whatever, whatever"

Bachelor party jugheads on a pub crawl
Schizophrenic flash mobs, unrehearsed
But now I have to worry about cholesterol
Oh, if they don't get me...
I'm just gonna tip-toe through this alley
Sneak past the wretched of the Earth
'Cause now I have to worry about cholesterol
Oh, if they don't get me
If they don't get me
If they don't get me first
