Why does everybody keep trying to mess me 'round

I mean I mean I'm a reasonable type of guy

I don't get drunk well not that much

Don't wanna let my problems drown

I got restraints principles business pleasure leisure

No shirt no dirt no skirt no dirt keep my blood pressure down

I watch 'em botch it touch it clutch it don't try to scotch it

But when I see something someone somehow somewhere

I'm at the point where ignorance is preferable

I am surrounded by incompetence

At work at home at church at sea

They're on the bus

They're on TV

They're callin' me

They're plaguin' me

I am surrounded

I guess that I'm a realist

Don't believe in coincidence

Especially when it happens more than once

So I wish that person that has wrapped itself round there

Would let go of my legs and listen to me now

Lemme tell ya

I'm convinced that what's needed here

Is not more sympathy but a little more discipline

No pain no gain migraine you came

Your egos wrappin' itself round my long thin neck

I am surrounded by incompetence

At work at home at church at sea

They're on the bus

They're on TV

They're callin' me

They're plaguin' me

I am surrounded

Why can't all these people

All these people understand

Aren't my force fields plain enough

I'm sick of being tired

I'm tired of being sick

I'm sick of being sick

I'm tired of bein' tired

I'm sick and I'm a tired

Leave it to me to delegate responsibility

Accounting fraternity maternity affirmity firmity infinity affinity

Don't limit me and the American way

I am surrounded by incompetence

At work at home at church at sea

They're on the bus

They're on TV

They're callin' me

They're plaguin' me

Is this all the thanks I can get

Is this all the thanks I can get

They give me advice They give me head lice

I am surrounded
