Pressure
Pressure ~ Billy Joel
You have to learn to pace yourself
(Pressure)
You're just like everybody else
(Pressure)
You've only had to run so far, so good
But you will come to a place where
The only thing you feel are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with the pressure
You used to call me paranoid (Pressure)
But even you cannot avoid (Pressure)
You turn the tap-dance into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle the pressure
All grown up and no place to go
Psych one, psych two
What do you know?
All your life is Channel 13
Sesame Street What does it mean?
I'll tell you what it means Pressure!
Don't ask for help, you're all alone (Pressure)
You'll have to answer to your own (Pressure)
I'm sure you have some cosmic rationale
Now here you are, in the ninth
Two men out and three men on.
Nowhere to look, but inside
Where we all respond to pressure
Pressure
All your life is Time Magazine
I read it too. What does it mean?
PRESSURE!
I'm sure you have some cosmic rationale
But here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle pressure
The pressure Pressure 1, 2, 3, 4 Pressure!!
I'm really not so cynical...it's just that we have two typists (FG and myself) and we have 14 cases that HAVE to go out today. On a normal day they figure our production at 6 cases...see any discrepancies? Neither did the higher ups. So back to the grind we go. Of course today would also be the day when every client wants something additional...(they're special ya know)
I feel like Tyler Durden's grunts in Fight Club "You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the all singing all dancing crap of the world."
But I am going to work really hard to only tell clients that in my head voice, not in my out loud voice...not today anyway...maybe tomorrow.
