Wake up Touch the ground Landing with a pound The pain hits when you get down And you can tell that something's wrong Looking at your feet They're swelling up and kinda beat He's not going insane It hurts to do like anything He tried to go buy some antibiotic cream at the convenience store but they were fresh out He has to explain why he can't have anything with acid in it cause he's got the gout Limp to the cabinet now And take a pill labeled for gout Side effects include a bout Of losing sleep but that I doubt That's the breaks he has to work But can't walk right so has to lurch Walking around like a jerk wait, maybe that's a perk The rest of the day is gonna be a big change And it won't be the same to go to cook outs He has to explain why he can't have anything with red meat in it cause he's got the gout Red wine Red meat I can't eat Cause of my feet They flare up Like wet socks And makes it really hard to walk It feels like I've been stepping on glass I think I'm not going anywhere fast You're gonna have to deal with the change of pace While I try to deal with the pain

Wreck 02:22
I'm a nervous wreck And I can't fool anyone And I can't trust anyone Except myself It's no use Wishing I were smarter Wishing I were taller It's just a whiny life And I need professional help Someone to check my mental health It's something i can't get through myself I got a lot of regrets And I don't know how to cope I write them in an envelope Then I throw it away It's alright But I think about it all night I'm up until the sunlight And I lose my mind I need professional help A weight lifted off my self doubt In case you couldn't already tell I try to tell myself at least I'm safe and sound And all the friends i know don't leave they stick around I think the world just feels like a living hell I don't think that's too hard a sell And I'm in over my head Got my feelings on a shelf Maybe I could share the wealth If I wasn't in the red And I think I see clearly now It's something we should talk about Maybe it should be with a shout Instead of all our thoughts being held In case you couldn't already tell

about

These songs may sound tragic, but I promise they are actually meant to be funny. I think that's what Thom Yorke is going for.
