todd snider - tension (live) lyrics
[chorus]
tension
tension
tension, it’s all that i know
i got tension in my health food
i got tension in my exercise
i got tension and it’s everywhere that i go
[verse 1]
after the bad guy k!lled off all the under-developed characters
the good guy put a bullet right through his head
and the screenwriter stood up and he told us
that all the loose ends had been ties
he said “justice is irrelevant
“violent problems need violent solutions
“’cause in america, we like our bad guys dead”
preferably after some kinds kick–ss car chase or something
[chorus]
tension
tension
tension, it’s all that i know
i got tension out in traffic
i got tension in my office
i got tension and it’s everywhere that i go
[verse 2]
well they roped all of my problems
when they pointed their fingers at drug addiction
‘i think it’s ’cause they know that if you’re the one doing the pointing
n-body’s looking at you
but you know, this war on drugs is funded
by tobacco and alcohol commissions
it’s not really that what drugs you’re strung out on they care about
so much as whose
people still dig drugs
sh-t, i live in east nashville
smells like a skunk farm over there
[chorus]
tension
tension
tension, it’s all that i know
i got tension in my court house
i got tension in my white house
i got tension and it’s everywhere that i go
[verse 3]
when rock-n-roll first came around, seemed like preachers all went crazy
pretty soon, though, that wasn’t enough to get anybody in the door
so, now they jump on just about any scandal that they have to to try and save me
because they know that i don’t buy that bullsh-t about the “devil’s music” anymore
g-y people gettin’ married
hooo
that’s what scares people that don’t have sh-t-all-else to be scared of these days
[chorus]
tension
tension
tension, it’s all that i know
i got tension in my traffic
i got tension in my office
i got tension, and it’s everywhere that i go
and i go
yeah i go
