Tension

Tension

Tension it's all that I know

I got tension in my health food

Tension in my exercise

Tension and it's everywhere that I go

(Spoken)

Well they roped off all of my problems and pointed their fingers at

addiction

'Cause they know if you're doin' the pointin' no one's lookin' at you

But you know this war on drugs it's funded by the Tobacco and Alcohol

Commissions

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

whose

You see people....people still love drugs

They're bigger than...hell, they're bigger than Rush Limbaugh

Tension

Tension

Tension it's all that I know

I got tension in my classroom

I got tension in my courtroom

I got tension and it's everywhere that I go

(Spoken)

When rock and 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 crap about the Devil's music anymore

Abortion

That's what scares people these days

And fear

Hell...fear is bigger than Elvis Aron Presley

(Harmonica Solo)
