Overview

The song's lyrics, shared by Cuomo in an entry on Riverpedia, are used on versions 7 and 8 but don't include the third verse. In the entry, Rivers added the following details about the song:

I last edited this song on November 23rd, 2011, a month after my son was born. The lyrics are pretty awesome. For the chorus, I think I was upset about an expensive door our architect had us buy that turned out not to work for our house. That is what the notes say in the google doc for the song.

Lyrics

Paul’s got a Pleistocene phone
He sounds like he’s talking on an ass bone in Hebrew
Baruch atah adonai, can you hear him now?
Hinjews know exactly what he’s saying
Gandhi only wanted to keep praying to Krishna
But Pitchfork gave him a 2, really shook him up blew his confidence shook

1800 bucks’ll get your foot inside the door
1800 bucks’ll get you in the door

Why am I getting so upset?

I’m gonna trash all of my google docs
Delete my calendar shout out “Ecce Homo!"
God never liked the name “God” so don’t call him that
But why did he make Oasis break up?
Forget the music, I’m talking ‘bout the love of brothers
Let’s hope they scattered some crumbs as they walked away

Why Am I Getting So Upset 2

You funky dipstick, messing around
You slack a (?) all over the town, you're trying
'til we sold out all the work
What's this work that you should be doing?
Make enough for the time you blew it, it's easy
Faint just a little bit more

You cost me 1800 bucks to get another door
You cost me 1900 bucks to get a door

Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?

I already wasted too much time
Going off but I still keep trying to fix you
Make you do the right thing
At least you could say you're sorry
Offer just a little bit of money
You cheap skate
I'm sick of wasting my breath

You cost me 1800 bucks to get another door
You cost me 1800 bucks to get a door

Why am I getting so upset?

Why am I getting so upset?
