G
Nervous tension, man's invention,
C
Is the biggest killer that's around today
Let the tension out or it will build and build inside
G
And strike you down some day
Nervous tension, man's invention
C
Is the biggest waste of human energy
Let the tension out, or it will surely kill
G
And that will be a tragedy
D
Valium helps you for a while
C
But somehow valium seems to bring me down
D
There's no pill I can recommend where side effects
C D
Aren't guaranteed to send you round the bend
G
You gotta let out the tension

With a little bit of exercise
Loosen up your muscles
C G
And feel the knots in your body untie
We oh we oh

Altogether now

C
Some people say it sends you deaf
D
Some people say it sends you blind

some people say it blows your mind
But I say
G
If it's good for your health
C G
It's good for your mind
If it keeps you together

It's really all right
We oh we oh
Oh c'mon, kick the cat
