"Aggravation" lyrics

"Aggravation"

Life grinds on day after day
In the city streets and motorways
The tension spreads just like a plague
Killing reason on the way
Like wildfire it spreads through the nation
Chocking us with aggravation

Who needs it? The aggravation the daily goddamn hassle
It's a bummer, who gives a dam?
Bumper to bumper in the traffic jam
Clench your jaw, getting all up tight
Breathing fumes, stuck in a tin can
Trapped, trapped
Hate, frustration, no escape
Glaring eyes all filled with hate
Arteries throb, coronaries pound
Aggravation all around
Like wildfire it spreads through the nation
Choking us with aggravation
They won the peace, we lost the war
So what are we still fighting for?
The highway's blocked, is this my end
To follow a Mercedes Benz?
Hey, Mitsubishi and Toyota, who said that the war was over?
Aggravations everywhere, get outta my way get out of my hair
Another jam, another day, another hair is turning grey
I wanna scream, I wanna say
Get outta my hair, get out of my way
Who needs it? Aggravation, aggravation
Had enough of all this aggravation
Tension choking up blocking my circulation
I've had enough, I've had enough of all this aggravation
While traffic jams and tempers break
The city streets are full of hate
The lights are red, it's all too late
How much can a poor man take?

Aggravation in my mind my body and my soul
There's no solution to it all, it's out of control
Out of control
Is it my imagination, am I seeing what is true?
If we are living in damnation
I'd live in hell to be with you, what more can I do?

I gotta violent streak caused by
We're getting uptight, wanna fight, everybody back bite
Now we can't turn back the future's bleak
I gotta mean appetite
I gotta get my daily fill of aggravation
Don't push 'cos I'm really pumped
I'm ready when you are, punk

So step aside, unless your dumb
I'm all wound up with aggravation

Had enough of all this aggravation
Winding up, stress filled, mad intimidation
And it touches all the passers-by
As dog eats dog to stay alive
Then moves on through the population
'Til there's mass contamination
With violent streets all filled with fear
Pollution in the atmosphere
The ozone's gone and that's no fun
I've had enough of this, old son
Who needs it? Aggravation
And I don't have any answers
I just got an attitude
Do what it takes just to survive it
Another day but I'll get through
What more can I do?
