Kinks - National Health lyrics

Nervous tension, man's invention, Is the biggest k**er that's around today Let the tension out or it will build and build inside And strike you down some day Nervous tension, man's invention Is the biggest waste of human energy Let the tension out, or it will surely k** And that will be a tragedy Valium helps you for a while But somehow valium seems to bring me down There's no pill i can recommend where side effects Aren't guaranteed to send you round the bend You gotta let out the tension With a little bit of exercise Loosen up your muscles And feel the knots in your body untie We oh we oh Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah It sure beats quaaludes It sure beats c**aine Even freud recommends it Cos it relieves the strain Altogether now Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah Some people say it sends you deaf Some people say it sends you blind Some people say it makes you old Some people say it blows your mind But i say If it's good for your health It's good for your mind If it keeps you together It's really all right We oh we oh Oh c'mon, kick the cat Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health Oh oh oh oh blame it on the national health Nervous tension, nervous tension, nervous tension Nervous tension. nervous tension, nervous tension Nervous tension, man's invention Is the biggest k**er that's around Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah an Valium helps you for a while But somehow valium seems to bring me down There's no pill i can recommend where side effects Aren't guaranteed to drive you round the bend I say i say Oh oh oh oh it's good for your health Keeps you together, it's the state of the national health Oh oh oh oh blame it on the national health Oh oh oh oh it's the state of the national health Oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah
