Fingernails On the Chalkboard

Ever have those days, when everything gets on your nerves

And you can't relax no matter what you do

The little things eat away at your mind

I know because I've been there too

If it's not the ticking of the clock

It's the wrinkle in your sock

Or the dust speck in your eye that you can't find

Every little irritation seems to break your concentration

Just like fingernails on the chalkboard of your mind

You could go insane if you weren't so concerned

With the ringing sound in your left ear

Or that nagging itch between your shoulder blades

That never ever seems to disappear

If it's not some bad flourescent light

It's your jeans that fit too tight

Or your office chair some masochist designed

Every little irritation seems to break your concentration

Just like Fingernails on the chalkboard of your mind

Just like fingernails on the chalkboard

Fingernails on the chalkboard

Just like fingernails on the chalkboard of your mind

Later on tonight you'll try and get some sleep

While a million thoughts rush through your head

And you'll wonder if this madness ever ends

The answer's yes, but only when you're dead

So forget that whistle in your nose

Or the run in your pantyhose

Orthe underwear that crawls up your behind

Every little irritation that breaks your concentration

Just like fingernails on the chalkboard of your mind

Just like fingernails on the chalkboard

Fingernails on the chalkboard

Just like fingernails on the chalkboard of your mind

Just like fingernails on the chalkboard

Fingernails on the chalkboard

Just like fingernails on the chalkboard of your mind
