The sixth song off Ball Park Music’s fourth album, Every Night the Same Dream, is a slower, bouncier song that draws inspiration from 70s and 80s Americana. The song has two parts: the first part is the main song featuring the lyrics, and the second is a 2 and a half minute instrumental outro.
[Verse 1]
I got pepped up, I got wired
I got free tickets, then I got tired
I got organised and I did less
I stayed inside, I did nothing
I got proud of myself for one second
But the guilt just bled right out of my ancient body
[Verse 2]

I got poems, got a whole instrument
I got violence, I got peace
I got friends and policemen
[Chorus]
You don't need to feel this way
You don't need to feel this way anymore

Got the shakes when I saw you, my heart, my lungs were his
But my liver is bold, got the blues
Got me begging for a holiday

No, keep relaying the force, it's the turning of tables
It is the spinning of plates, it is a joke in the paper
Work the shred, ex-military models in the modern world
[Chorus]
You don't need to feel this way
You don't need to feel this way anymore
