Denial Works For Me

Life is full of problems
And here's the remedy
Denial works for me [denial works for me]
There's a freight train coming
Loaded with anxiety
You're tied to the tracks - don't worry [denial works for me]

Flood, famine, pestilence
They're all yucky
You could let Moses out to the Promised Land [denial works for me]
Why put off till tomorrow
Responsibilities
They'll just come back to haunt you [denial works for me]

No means no
No means yes (1)
And everything in between
And all the rest

Some people work it out
With therapy
But if you ain't got the money [denial works for me]
Some people work for causes
Some work for charity
Some people's work is a labour of love [denial works for me]

Life is full of problems
And here's the remedy
Denial works for me [denial works for me]
Now it's reputation time
If I'm a lyricist of any note
I've gotta come up with a punchline
Then again - maybe I don't ...
