[Verse 1]
I hope it doesn't show
It'll go away
It's just a passing phase
It'll go away
[Verse 2]
You can dress nautical
Learn to tie knots
Take lots of Dramamine
Out on your yacht
[Pre-Refrain 1]
But when you're all alone
And nothing bites
You'll wish you stayed at home
With someone nice
[Refrain 1]
But when you think you made it disappear
It comes again, "Hello, I'm here"
And I've got angst in my pants
[Verse 3]
You can be smart as hell
Know how to add
Know how to figure things
On yellow pads
[Pre-Refrain 2]
Answer so no one knows
What you just said
But when you're all alone
You and your head
[Refrain 2]
What's the computer say, it's mumbling now
It says, "Hey, Joe"
It's spelled it out
And you've got angst in your pants
You've got angst in your pants
[Interlude]
[Refrain 3]
(But when you think)
But when you think you've made it disappear
You're sure you made it disappear
And you've still got angst in your pants
[Verse 4]
I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
It's just a passing phase
It'll go 'way
[Pre-Refrain 4]
I hope it doesn't show
It'll go 'way
Give it a hundred years
It won't go 'way
[Refrain 4]
And I've got angst in my pants
I've got angst in my pants
I've got angst in my pants
I've got angst in my pants
[Outro]
I've got angst in my pants
I've got angst in my pants
I've got angst in my pants
I've got angst in my pants
