Been uptight for all my life
Been uptight, I'm real uptight
My doctor told me I'm about to crack
I'm gonna drop dead from a heart attack
Been uptight for way too long
Been uptight, I'm real uptight
I had a girl but I wore her down
She told me "man, you're too uptight to be around"
Get me the hell out of here
I'm running out of control
I'm uptight, I'm not thinking clear
And I'm ready to blow
Tell me that I'm alright
Tell me I'm for real
I'm a fucking laboratory rat
And every breath I feel
Uptight
Uptight
La la la la la la la
been uptight, I'm real uptight
I had a job but I got the shaft
They fired me for being a decaf hypochondriac
Get me the hell out of here
I'm running out of control
I'm uptight, I'm not thinking clear
And I'm ready now to blow
Tell me that I'm alright
Tell me I'm for real
I'm a fucking laboratory rat
And every breath I feel
Uptight
Uptight
I've been uptight for all my life
None of you get it
None of you have a clue
I can't even leave my room
And when I wake up, I hide beneath my bed
I don't even eat, but I keep getting fatter
