Screwloose

Parody of the classic Kenny Logins song Footloose

Been working too hard
Too damm hard
I'm thinkin' of punching my boss
Eighty hours a week, for what?
Oh, tell me doc what I gotta take
Gotta ease this painful ache

Been working so hard
Now I'm poppin' those pills
Eighty different kinds, for what?
Oh, tell me doc what I should't take
Gotta ease another crazy ache

Been working so very hard
I'm drinking on the job
Eighty beers, I'm busting my gut
Oh, tell me what I got

I got this feeling that everybody's trying out to get me
They wanna hold me down
I hate this feeling
Know that even my family is in on it
They all wanna hold me down
Treat me just like another damm 24/7 clown
I'll hit the gunshop and then I'll tear up this office

Tonight I gotta a screw loose
Screw loose
Shoot off your sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Don't make me force you to your knees
Jack, get back
C'mom before I shoot you in the crack
Lose your cell phones and cut those phone lines
Nobodie's calling out

I know
I'm playin' so cruel
Disobeying every rule
Dig way down deep
Into the hell that is my soul
I'm burning
Yearning to do someone some major harm
Somebody needs to tell me
That life isn't passing me by
Life is passing me by

I'm trying to tell you
I'm through
No more Mr. Nice Guy
If you try to be a hero tonight
Then you're gonna die

If only you had all known
I gotta a screw loose
Screw loose
Oh mercy, mercy me
Because of you all
I gotta a screw loose
