lyrics
The A.D.D. in me
Won't let me think straight
The A.D.D. in me
I just can't concentrate
The A.D.D. in me
It's bad, I ain't kiddin'
The A.D.D. in me
Gotta take a fuckoad of Ritalin
What the hell was I just doing?
I lost my train of thought
What the hell was I just doing?
This happens to me a lot
The A.D.D. in me
I'm going off the rail
The A.D.D. in me
Ooh, look! Puppy dog tails :)
The A.D.D. in me
Makes me lose my focus
The A.D.D. in me
I get distrac... ooh look at that pretty crocus
What the hell was I just doing?
I lost my train of thought
What the hell was I just doing?
This happens to me a lot. I think
The A.D.D. in me
Held me back a grade
I love that song by Motorhead, "The Ace of Spades"
The A.D.D. in me
Now I'm totally off track
The A.D.D. in me
I really need to get back to somewhere. I think. Or maybe I need to pack for somewhere. The Misty Mountains? My mind's so out of whack. You know, working too hard can give you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack
What the hell was I just doing?
I lost my train of thought
What the hell was I just doing?
This happens to me a lot. Maybe.
