[Verse 1]

Pity you

You're tellin' me you've got a problem

A nervous sort of contraction

A mindless kind of reaction

You never get no satisfaction


[Verse 2]

Here's to you

I know you really got a problem

A nasty kind of reaction

A dangerous sword of destruction


[Chorus]

That makes it difficult

Makes it hard to reach

Takes it all away

From what you had in mind

Yeah, yeah, yeah


[Verse 3]

Here's to you

I know you really got a problem (Problem)

A dangerous kind of distraction (Distraction)

A mindless sort of reaction (Reaction)

You never get so satisfaction (Satisfaction)

A nasty sort of contraction (Contraction)

A dangerous kind of destruction (Destruction)


[Chorus]

But there's one big fat point

That you seem to be missing

And it's driving you to distraction

But doesn't seem to stop you in the least

Or halt this obsession that's got you going back

Week after week (Week after week)

Day after day (Day after day)

Hour after hour (Hour after hour)

From where you came (From where you came)

For more of the same, yeah, yeah


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

But there's one big fat point

That you seem to be missing

And it's driving you to distraction

But doesn't seem to stop you in the least

Or halt this obsession that's got you going back

Week after week (Week after week)

Day after day (Day after day)

Hour after hour (Hour after hour)

From where you came (From where you came)

For more of the same, yeah, yeah
