Story Behind the Song
This song came out of my frustration with working long hours and seemingly having nothing to show for it because of bills and taxes and all the other things that just eat up your money. I get to go off on the guitar in this song, so please excuse my excess.
Lyrics
Workin' hard, workin' harder, workin' even harder still
When's it ever going to end?
Lookin' at my parents, they're still workin' to pay their bills
Whatever happened to retirement?
There's got to be a way to make it better
There's got to be a way to ease the pressure
Hypertension, gonna get the best of you
Hypertension, gonna make your heart go boom!
Hypertension, watch your sanity erode
Hypertension, feel your heart explode
Workin' more, workin' later, workin' all this overtime
I'm just tryin' to keep up with my debt
Seems like everybody else has found a better way
But I still haven't found it yet
There's got to be a way to ease the pressure
There's got to be a way to make it better
Hypertension, gonna get the best of you
Hypertension, gonna make your heart go boom!
Hypertension, watch your sanity erode
Hypertension, feel your heart explode
