Tension - Todd Snider

Written by：Todd Snider

Tension tension tension it's all that I know

I got tension out in traffic

I got tension in my exercise

I got tension and it's everywhere that I go

After the bad guy killed off all the under developed characters

The good guy put a bullet right through his head

The screenwriter stood up and told us

That all the loose ends had been covered

Justice is irrelevant violent problems need violent solutions

'Cause in America we like our bad guys dead

It's called box office baby

It's bigger than the stones

Well they roped off all of my problems

And pointed their fingers at drug addiction

'Cause they know if you're doing the pointing

Nobody's probably looking at you

But you know this war on drugs is funded

By the tobacco and alcohol commissions

It's not what drugs you're strung out on they care about

So much as whose

People still dig drugs

I mean y'all do anyway I'm over it

Tension tension tension it's all that I know

I got tension in my courtroom

I got tension in my classroom

I got tension and it's everywhere that I go

When rock' n' roll first came around the preachers all went crazy

But soon that wasn't enough to bring people in the door

So now they jump on any scandal that they can to try and save me

'Cause they know I don't buy that bullsh*t

About the devil's music anymore

Republicans that's what scares people these days

That and uh Democrats

Tension tension tension it's all that I know

I got tension out in traffic

I got tension in my exercise

I got tension and it's everywhere that I go
