Like fingernails dragged across a chalkboard.
Like a note a bit off key inside the chord,
Like a car that cuts you off without compunction,
Like a score one point too low for the award,
When it doesn't go, doesn't work, doesn't
function,
When nothing that I try goes well,
Frustration, frustration, frustration
Makes me glower, makes me growl, makes me yell!
Like bill collectors calling when you're flat
broke,
Like a garden that simply doesn't grow
Like fumbling for the punch line of your best joke,
Like a shoe that wears a blister in your toe,
When it doesn't go, doesn't work, doesn't
function,
When nothing that I try goes well,
Frustration, frustration, frustration
Makes me glower, makes me growl, makes me yell!
Like a toothache, like a headache, like a
backache,
Like a boss who's out to get you, just for spite,
Like pollution in your favorite mountain trout lake
Like spouse who almost always wants to fight!
When it doesn't go, doesn't work, doesn't
function,
When nothing that I try goes well,
Frustration, frustration, frustration
Makes me glower, makes me growl, makes me yell!
