Why does everybody keep trying to mess me 'round I mean, I mean, I'm a reasonable type of guy I don't get drunk, well not that much Don't wanna let my problems drown I got restraints principles business pleasure leisure No shirt no dirt no skirt no dirt keep my blood pressure down I watch 'em botch it touch it clutch it don't try to scotch it But when I see something someone somehow somewhere I'm at the point where ignorance is preferable I am surrounded by incompetence At work at home at church at sea They're on the bus They're on TV They're callin' me They're plaguin' me I am surrounded I guess that I'm a realist Don't believe in coincidence Especially when it happens more than once So I wish that person that has wrapped itself round there Would let go of my legs and listen to me now Lemme tell ya I'm convinced that what's needed here Is not more sympathy but a little more discipline (No pain no gain migraine you came) Your egos wrappin' itself round my long thin neck I am surrounded by incompetence At work at home at church at sea They're on the bus They're on TV They're callin' me They're plaguin' me I am surrounded Why can't all these people All these people understand Aren't my force fields plain enough? I'm sick of being tired I'm tired of being sick I'm sick of being sick I'm tired of bein' tired I'm sick and I'm a tired Leave it to me to delegate responsibility Accounting fraternity maternity affirmity firmity infinity affinity Don't limit me and the American way I am surrounded by incompetence At work at home at church at sea They're on the bus They're on TV They're callin' me They're plaguin' me Is this all the thanks I can get? Is this all the thanks I can get? They give me advice! They give me head lice! I am surrounded
