Anxiety

My girlfriend just dumped me For Friday night TV And a boy who's six-foot-three She hates me I fixed the numb, but the numb don't fix Now I fixed and I just feel sick Sick sick, I feel kicks But the kicks don't kick, so I act a prick I've got anxiety It has got the best of me Satisfaction guaranteed Anxiety Our government hates the poor Cold leaders, cold class war Given drugs you can't afford So the poor can't buy the cure Car crash country, car crash scene Car crash, dislocated knee Car crash, tabloid guillotine Car crash cash, for the bones you see I have got anxiety It has got the best of me Satisfaction guaranteed Anxiety Anxiety Anxiety (anxiety) Anxiety (anxiety) Anxiety (anxiety) Anxiety (anxiety) Anxiety (anxiety) Anxiety (anxiety) Anxiety (anxiety) Yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah Yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah Yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah Yah-yah-yah-yah-yah-yah Anxiety Anxiety
