Paul’s got a mobile phone from 1832
He sounds like he’s talking through a burqa in Hebrew
Baruch atah adonai, can you hear him now?
Even the Hindu would kill a stupid cow
Gandhi only wanted to pray to Krishna
But Pitchfork gave him a 2 and he got mixed up
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
I've got all the chances I can get
So why am I getting so upset with me?
Upset with you
Upset with them
What can I do?
I’m gonna trash all my Google documents
Delete my calendar and claim self-defense
God never liked to be called "God;" don’t call him that
But why did he make Oasis have a vicious spat?
Forget the tunes, I’m talking about two brothers
The ??? found its way to make ???
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
I've got all the chances I can get
So why am I getting so upset with me?
Upset with you
Upset with them
What can I do?

Overview
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, shook his confidence
Eighteen hundred bucks’ll get your foot inside the door
Eighteen hundred bucks’ll get you in the 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’m gonna trash all of my Google Docs
Delete my calendar, shout out "Ecce Homo!" (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
Eighteen-hundred bucks'll get your foot inside the door
Eighteen-hundred bucks'll get you in the 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?
Baby, baby, it's the PG Tips
Overloading all my microchips
Excuse me, I'll have just a couple more plums
'Cause I'm hungry
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting? Why am I getting?
Why am I getting? Why am I getting?
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?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why?
Why?

Your funky dipstick, messing around
??? all over the town
You're trying to weasel out of the work
And what's this work that you should be doing?
Make enough for the time you blew it
It's easy; feint just a little bit more
You cost me eighteen hundred bucks to get another door
You cost me eighteen hundred bucks to get a door
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
And make you do the right thing
At least you could say you're sorry
Offer just a little bit of money
You cheapskate
I'm sick of wasting my breath
You cost me eighteen hundred bucks to get another door
You cost me eighteen hundred bucks to get a door
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
And make you do the right thing
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
Why am I getting so upset?
