I want something bad And I just can't have it They sewed the arms To the back of my best leather jacket I got a clock in my pockets Got my Ritalin in it I get to give myself a shot every seven minutes Can't you tell by now? Sometimes I do Sometimes I don't Thought I'd be well by now I'm just so stressed out Either way I'm just high strung HIGH STRUNG I never have any fun HIGH STRUNG I'm wound tight as a string On a car gut racket Done a lotta mean things Got some real bad habits I wasted 41 people In a mall down in Lubbock I'm just a little uptight, man I really can't help it Can't you tell by now? Sometimes I will Sometimes I won't Thought I could get by now I'm just so stressed out Either way I'm just high strung HIGH STRUNG I never get nothin' done HIGH STRUNG I - always wonder why Can't accept the pace In life's been set for me I - always wanna try Climb up on the back Of who's in front of me Nervous Breakdown High Strung
