lyrics

Impressed by your efficiency
Thinkin' you're the one on top
But I see that bulging vein in your neck about to pop
You struggle every day
Self respect: there's not alot
Why won't you let those voices in your head ever stop?
You say you're a Type A personality
But do you know what the A even stands for?
Well I've had a few ideas, I'm gonna keep em to myself
Cuz I don't wanna be
A Type A Personality
You're always on the move
You got so much that's left to do
But I won't let myself get caught-up in your topsy-turvy world
Why can't you just enjoy the gifts
Your life's work has brought?
Oh must you let the fruits of your labor go to rot?
No don't say you're a Type A personality
Until you know what the A even stands for
Well I've had a few ideas, I'm gonna keep em to myself
Cuz I don't wanna be
A Type A Personality
Well you say you're a Type A personality
But do you know what the A even stands for?
I'm happily Type B, do wanna be nobody else
No I don't wanna be
-a Type A Personality
-a Type A Personality
-a Type A Personality (No I don't wanna be a Type a personality)
-a Type A Personality (I'd rather be Type B)
-a Type A Personality (No I don't wanna be a Type a personality)
-a Type A Personalityyyyyyyyy
