Bankrupt again
And I lost all my hard earned Yankee dollars
On gaming dens and cellars
And party-girl Polaroids are all I have to show and sell
And shame rides shotgun
Yeah, look who bought one

Stress is best, stress is best
It seeps from the ocean
When it takes a notion
Sake's alive and well

Seventeen and running out of luck
Basing everything on how she fucks
Doing everything I can to save her
Giving head all morning as a favor
An easy day's labor

I'm tall, I'm hung
I'm lonesome and I'm young
Don't get out much walking on one crutch
And boring keeps me out late whoring
Whoring to the moon above
Singing that slutty jive I love

Stress is best, stress is best
It seeps from the ocean
When it takes a notion
Sake's alive and well

Seventeen and running out of luck
Basing everything on how she fucks
Doing everything I can to save her
Giving head all morning as a favor
An easy day's labor

Stress come running
Yeah, he was gunning, man
He was working for the good
So misunderstood
Tearing down redwoods
Stress come conquered the world now
He was strutting like a king
Captain of the team, coin toss, your loss
Stress fights a good fight on a good night
He was out there filling up the cash machine

Seventeen and running out of luck
Basing everything on how she fucks
Doing everything I can to save her
Giving head all morning as a favor
