Introduction
================================================================================
There is just something about Baseball that has kept Americans interested
in baseball for oh so many years. I'm not sure if it's the players, the
home runs, the bottom of the 9th suspense, or the fields the players play
on. Whatever it is, it's kept me watching baseball for several years, and
there's no signs of me stopping.
MVP Baseball has been around for several years now, but its future is unclear
at the moment because of a series of exclusive contracts game manufacturers
have made with the major sports organizations. This will be the last baseball
game from EA Sports in the series, unless they go either with some sort of
fictional league (and players) or go the college route. To the best of my
knowledge, no one has made a college baseball game before; this could be a
great thing for EA Sports to try given their experience with other collegiate
sports titles.
Most of the FAQs I've written have been for Strategy titles, this is the first
Sports game I've written for (if you exclude Wrestling), so it's going to be
a challenge. If you have anything you'd like to contribute, big or small,
don't hesitate to send me an email. There is a lot to include in this FAQ,
and I could certainly use the help.

Game Modes
================================================================================
MVP Baseball 2005 has more than just one or two different game modes. Below
you will find a brief description as to what you can expect to find while in
that part of the game.
PLAY NOW
This will give you the opportunity for a quick game of baseball. You don't
get the option to choose which stadium you play in, however.
EXHIBITION
Very much the same as Play Now, but you get the option of choosing the
stadium you're going to be playing in. As close to a regular season game
as you can get without actually being in one.
DYNASTY MODE
You take control of a MLB Organization and play for several years. You're
judged against a series of one- and three-year goals. Every milestone you
achieve increases your manager rating. This is very similar to the Owner
Mode, minus the money aspect for the most part.
OWNER MODE
Build a park, set ticket prices, and manage the financial aspect of your
club. Add all of that to Dynasty Mode, and you get the "NEW" Owner Mode.
MVP ONLINE
Play online against friends or strangers. You will need access to the
Internet, and depending on which game system, a modem of some kind is
required. (ie. PS2 requires the PS2 Online Adapter from Sony).
MINI GAMES
Perfect your batting and hitting skills in these three mini games.
HOME RUN SHOWDOWN
Pick a couple of mashers, choose a cumulative distance, and swing for the
bleachers. The first player to hit the total distance target wins.
MANAGER MODE
You control the game strategy, while leaving the on-the-field execution to
the players in this single-player mode.
SCENARIO EDITOR
Two outs, bottom of the ninth- create any scenario and play it out to see
how you do.
================================================================================
Player Positions
================================================================================
There are a number of positions for players to play at. If you aren't at
all familiar with baseball, this section will give you a much better idea
of who does what on the field.
Pitcher (P) - Charged with delivering the ball to the plate in a manner
difficult for a batter to hit. Good throwing speed is good indication of
a pitcher, but accuracy is more important. They should be tough, smart,
and retain their composure when faced with a challenging situation. Will
be required to 'cover' home plate on a short pop fly or foul when there
are runners on third.
Catcher (C) - Generally the team leader while on the field since they
are the only player facing all the other players. The catcher will: track
the count on the batter; track the number of outs; remind fielders of
their position on the field; back up 1st base on every infield play; and
generally spend most of the time getting up and down from the squat
position. Makes my calves hurt just thinking about it! This player should
be your most rugged and quickest thinking individual.
First Base (1B) - The perfect place for a 'lefty' who can catch the ball
well. Balls will be bouncing in, flying in, on target and off target, so
their primary responsibility will be to catch and/or stop the ball.
Strength and size are also strong determining factors. Strong concentration
skills will also be a necessity, as they will potentially be involved in
every play.
Second Base (2B) - Size and stature are of little importance. Speed,
quickness and good fielding will be the determining factors. Must be able
to 'think-ahead' when there are base runners, I.e. "If the ball is hit to
me, I will touch second base, or tag the runner, and then throw to first".
Third Base (3B) - This player should have excellent forward and lateral
speed, as most balls hit at them will be short, and/or to the players'
left. They should be able to throw the ball on a dead-run and be able
to field the ball barehanded. They are the furthest from first, so a
strong throwing arm is required.
Shortstop (SS) - This player has more ground to cover than any other
player does and must be fast, quick, agile and have a strong throwing
arm. The shortstop will potentially field more ground balls, in more
off-balance positions, than any other player. Being able to 'think-ahead'
is required for this position as well. This position will backup the
second baseman on any throws to second.
Left Fielder (LF) - Of all outfield positions, this player should have
the weakest arm, as they do not generally throw the ball as far. They
still require good fielding and catching skills and backup third on
pick-off attempts from the catcher or pitcher.
Center Fielder (CF) - This will be the player that has the best
combination of speed and throwing distance. Like shortstop, they cover
more 'grass' than any other player and, most likely, will catch the most
fly balls. They must backup second on all bunts and throws from the
catcher.
Right Fielder (RF) - As well as the requirements above should be a
good 'think-ahead' player. This player backs up first base on all
throws from the catcher and all bunted balls, since the catcher must
be available for fielding the ball. They backup second on any ball
thrown from the left of the diamond. I.e. shortstop, third base or
foul territory.
================================================================================
Hitting
================================================================================
Hitting well can be a difficult thing to do. Simply hitting the ball into
the field of play can be done by just about anyone. Slicing a ball down
the first or third base line just out of the reach of the first or third
baseman is very difficult. Other than hitting the ball to specific parts
of the field, hitting a home run is by no means a piece of cake; in fact,
you'll likely find it to be rather difficult for a while.
TIMING
The single most important of hitting is timing. You'll hear this from just
about every MVP Baseball 2005 player in message boards and chat rooms. You
must get your timing down! This takes time and patience, for you must get
accustomed to the game's various pitches. If you're thrown two Fastballs,
don't be surprised if you're thrown a slower pitch like a Changeup to get you
to strike out. The pitches have varying speeds and movements. A Fastball
and say a Slider are very different. Explaining timing is impossible; it's
just something you have to figure out. It's muscle memory, instincts, a
little bit of everything.
In order to get your timing down, I recommend using the Hitting Mini-Game.
The Home Run Showdown isn't a good place to start - the split screen thing
makes it more difficult in my opinion to work on your hitting - get started
in the Hitting Mini-Game. You not only work on timing, but you can learn
to hit the ball to certain parts of the field, using the Analog Stick.
HOT/COLD ZONES
Other than timing, you need to work on hitting when the pitch is thrown in
a certain pitch location. If you have the Hot/Cold Zones option turned on
(it's on by Default), you will see red, white, and clear boxes. Each player
has different Hot and Cold areas within the strike zone. These are
represented as blue and red squares on the strike zone grid. As you might
imagine, a player will be worse at hitting a pitch in his Cold zone, and
better at hitting one when it's pitched into his Hot zone. Clear spaces
in the grid give no real dis/advantage to the hitter.
The general idea with the Hot/Cold Zones is to wait for a pitch to be thrown
into your Hot Zone, so you can either get a base hit, or drive it over the
wall for a Home Run. As with timing, this is difficult to get down, so to
speak. It's patience and intuition.
ANALOG STICK
This isn't very difficult to figure out. Using the Analog Stick in
coordination with your ability to determine the pitch type and location can
turn into some great offensive games.
Up/Left - For a right hand hitter, you'd only want to use this if you
got a good pitch up and in and you wanted to hit it over the
fence. Otherwise, you'll likely pop it up to the Left-Fielder.
For a left hand hitter who got a pitch high and outside, you
could be able to take the pitcher deep to the opposite
field. If you're unable to take it deep, you'll likely pop
it out to the Left-Fielder.
Up - If you hold Up on the Analog Stick, you'll likely drive the ball deep
to the outfield. Depending on the situation, it could end up being
a base hit, a pop up, or a Home Run. Just keep two things in mind.
One: Since you're using an uppercut swing, you will likely miss a
ball thrown low in the Strike Zone.
Two: The fence in Center Field is much deeper than that of the Left/
Right Field, so don't count on too many balls being hit over the
Center Field wall.
Up/Right - This is pretty much the opposite of what is written above in the
Up/Left section.
Left - For a right hand hitter, an inside pitch could be ripped down the
line and in between the Third Baseman and Left-Fielder. Depending
on how close the Left-Fielder is playing to the Left Field line,
you will likely get a single or perhaps even a double if you're
fast on your feet. It's certainly not going to lead to a home run.
For a left hand hitter, an outside pitch could be hit down the
line and in between the Third Baseman and Left-Fielder. Depending
on how close the Left-Fielder is playing to the Left Field line,
you will likely get a single or perhaps even a double if you're
fast on your feet. It's certainly not going to lead to a home run.
Zero - I'm referring it to position zero, or as some may say "neutral".
This could result in just about anything, it's especially going
to depend on pitch type and location. It's certainly not going
to lead to a home run. I've used this a few times if the Second
Baseman is playing too close to First, with the intent of hitting
the ball right to Second Base and watch it roll out the Center
Fielder.
Right - This is pretty much the opposite of what is written above in the
Left section.
Down/Left - I have to admit I don't use the Down positions on the Analog
Stick too often, since it's so easy to find yourself either
grounding out or even getting into a double play. An
inside pitch (middle or low) to a right handed hitter, or an
outside pitch (middle or low) to a left handed hitter, will
likely ground the ball towards Third Base or to the Shortstop.
Down - As with the "Zero" or "Neutral" position, I usually use this if
the Second Baseman is playing too close to First base, with the
intent of hitting the ball right to Second Base and watch it roll
out the Center Fielder. Even if the Second Baseman does get to the
ball after diving, he may not be able to throw out a fast hitter.
Don't use this at a high pitch. The ideal pitch location for this
would be middle or middle-low.
Down/Right - This is pretty much the opposite of what is written above in
the Down/Left section.
HITTER'S EYE
A great deal of the marketing of this game is being spend talking about the
new Hitter's Eye feature in the game. Some players have found it more
useful than others. You can turn it off if you wish. The general idea of it
is to tell you which pitch type is coming. Just as the pitch is being
thrown, the ball will change colors, depending on which pitch is coming your
way. Depending on the Camera View/Angle you have chosen, it could be of
some help. Also, some pitchers have bizarre stances, throwing manerisms,
etc, which could do much of the same as the Camera Angle.
Here is a list of the colors and which pitch(es) they represent:
White = Fastball/Cutter
Red = Curveball/Screwball/Slider/Slurve
Purple = Sinker/Splitter/Forkball
Orange = Knuckler
Green = Palmball/Changeup
HITTER'S FEET
In order to help you hit the Inside/Outside pitches, you should really
consider playing around with where you are standing in the batter's box.
When I started playing the game, I didn't bother moving around at all, but
after I did, my number of hits improved by about 10-15%. Some situations
where this could come in handy is Up & In pitches and Low & Away pitches.
Moving yourself around in the box can improve your odds of making contact
on those pitches.
Holding L2 + moving the Left Analog Stick Right or Left will move your feet
in the batter's box.
BAD PITCHES
As a pitcher wears down over the course of a game, he's likely going to make
mistakes. Inside pitches may end up almost hitting you or they could end up
on the outside corner of the plate. When the pitcher misses his pitch, you
can tell because there is a little Circle on the screen. If the pitch
completely misses the strike zone, the Circle will appear just before the
pitch crosses the plate (to help you), but it will have a little "X" inside
of it. DO NOT SWING AT THESE! If you swing, you're going to miss them
completely. A missed pitch in your Hot Zone will show up as light red,
one in your Cold Zone will show up as light blue, and one in a Neutral Zone
will be light gray. A missed pitch is a major opportunity for you to
make something happen, as it is easier to see than any other pitch.
================================================================================
Pitching
================================================================================
Between Pitching, Fielding, and Hitting, I'm best at pitching, although I'm
by no means superb at it. It's something that you must work on, like any
other aspect of the game.
In order to pitch well, you're going to need to know your pitcher, among
other things. Chances are, your pitcher doesn't have a great ability to
throw all of his pitches. He likely excels at one or two, but the other one
or two probably don't break much over the plate. Other than how much the
ball breaks, pitch placement is also important.
If you're going to be successful, you're going to have to paint the corners,
as it's called. Throwing pitches to the edges of the pitching box will
increase the likelihood you'll either strike the batter out or see him pop
out. Don't just stick inside the box, go outside of it. If you've ever
seen a baseball game in person or on television, you'll see pitchers
routinely throwing balls out of the strike zone. The reason for this is
not that they're bad pitchers, it's to get the batter to chase the pitch,
hopefully missing it completely. Because it works in real games, it does
work in the video game. Make the hitters chase the ball!
Regardless of where you throw the ball, you will also need to mix up your
pitches. Even if you have one of the finest pitchers in the game, you're
not going to do well is you only throw fastballs. Throw curveballs, fast-
balls, splitters, whatever is in your arsenal or pitches. Also, don't forget
to switch up the speed of your pitches. Don't let the hitter get
comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
================================================================================
This is the section I've dedicated to questions that I deem are asked
quite a bit, and instead of receiving the same questions over and over,
they will be asked and answered below. Be sure to read this section
prior to asking me a question.
Q: I lost my manual - can you send me yours?
A: No. This kind of question is one I don't like to answer. Far too
many people are using pirated copies. If you use a pirated version,
obviously there's no printed manual.
Q: Can retired players become managers?
A: No.
Q: Why isn't Barry Bonds in the game?
A: Barry Bonds, for one reason or another, decided not to sign with the
player's union. Because of this, EA Sports cannot legally include
him in the game. They did, however, include him, but under another
name. He's Jon Dowd. If you want him to look like Barry Bonds,
you'll have to edit his face, jersey number, etc. In case you
need help with this, try this information submitted to me by Eddie W.
Face: 14
Hair Color: 1
Hair: 1
Facial: 1
Bat Color: 7
Glove: 3
Elbow: 1
Shin: None
Wrist: 3 (too bad they aren't black)
Socks: Low
Batting Gloves: On
Stance: E.Chavez
Q: What's up with the red/green fielding circles?
A: When the ball is in the air, the red color is indicating to you to
get ready to catch it. Green means you should jump to rob the batter
from a home run (obviously this is when you are next to the wall).
Q: When I lead off, I keep getting picked off. Please help!
A: Well, when you lead off, you do run the risk of getting picked off.
Perhaps you should go into the Options and choose Automatic Retreat
instead of Manual Retreat. This will give the retreat option to the
computer to do, instead of relying on you.
Q: Where can I find updated rosters?
A: EA has a downloadable roster update through the PS2 online adapter,
and I'm sure there are ways for people to download official rosters
for their XBox or PC. If you're looking for a Sharkport or Max Drive
roster update, check out sites like
http://www.ps2rosters.com,
http://www.geekrosters.com, or
http://www.gamefaqs.com
Q: What's the Cooperstown Effect?
A: This gives the menus an old, yellow look. The graphics in general
change, making it look like you're watching an old tape of a game from
several decades ago.
Q: Can I change the number of games I have to play in a season?
A: No. If you don't want to play them, Sim or Manage them.
Q: I hit an inside-the-park-home run. Why am I not credited with a home
run?
A: It's a bug in the game. Instead of getting credited with a HR, you
get a Triple.
Q: When a pitch is being thrown, why is it grey/black?
A: It's EA's attempt to bring more realism to the game, and it's intended
to be a shadow. If you've been to a baseball game during the
afternoon, eventually, there is some sort of shadow on the in-field,
which can affect the players.
Q: How can I keep my players happy?
A: Offer them more money and time off. They may want more playing time
if they're not a starter. There's no simple way to please everyone.
Q: How can I climb the fence to nab a home run?
A: I've not been able to "climb" the fence, just jump, and you can do that
with moving the analog stick towards the wall, while you're standing
close to the wall.
Q: How can I make money in Owner's Mode?
A: The question of the century. 90% of the email I receive is about
making money in the game, and frankly, there's no quick and simple way
to make money in the game. It's something that will take you a long
time to do.
Winning home games brings in money, and you'll have to fill those
seats of yours. Making the playoffs is essential if you're going to be
making money. Adding more seating, concessions, etc, and you'll
eventually get there. As manager, you will also have to cut your
payroll in some areas eventually. Sometimes, you'll come across a
player who just isn't what he used to be, and is taking up a large
chunk of your payroll (Sammy Sosa, for example). Cut him loose and
invest in another player.
Q: Where's MVP Baseball 2006?
A: Because EA lost its rights to the players and stadiums in the MLB, they
aren't allowed to release a baseball game featuring MLB players
and stadiums. Since they still wanted a baseball game, they went the
college route, with MVP 06 NCAA Baseball, released in January of 2006.
If you're looking for a game for the "new" season, you'll have to go
with something like MLB '06: The Show from SCEA. I haven't tried that
game, so I cannot offer any personal opinions on the gameplay in
that title.
================================================================================
Jukebox
================================================================================
Like all major EA Sports titles, MVP Baseball 2005 includes a variety of
soundtrack titles. Though they may not be your favorite kinds of music,
it adds some entertainment to the game. If you don't want to listen to
the music, MUTE your Television, and crank up your CD or MP3 player and
listen to whatever you have on that. You'll find lyrics to the soundtrack
below.

"Let It Dive"
---------------------------------------------------
Now that our ties are served
As we say goodbye
Let us not wonder whether
We are ready to take the dive
Let it dive, let it die, let it fade out of sight
Let it drag us down, let it fade
Grieve, but not grieve together
Mourn with nothing to say
Gone are those times forever
Lost as those sweet warm other days
Let it dive, let it die, let it fade out of sight
Let it drag us down, let it come between you and I
Let it dive, let it die, let it fade
Where we born to despair
Deeds done but not forgiven?
There will always be something there
As long as one of us goes on living
Let it dive, let it die
Let it fade out of sight
Let it drag us down, let it come between you and I
What's done is done, no reason to apologize
Let it dive, let it die, let it fade

"Tessie"
---------------------------------------------------
Tessie is the Royal Rooters rally cry
Tessie is the tune they always sung
Tessie echoed April through October nights
After serenading Stahl, Dinneen and Young
Tessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye
Tessie is a maiden with a love
She doesn't know the meaning of her sight
She's got a comment full of love
And sometimes when the game is on the line
Tessie always carried them away
Up the road from third base to Huntington
The boys will always sing and sway
Two! Three! Four!
Tessie, Nuff Said McGreevey shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only only only
The Rooters showed up at the grounds one day
They found their seats had all been sold
McGreevey led the charge into the park
Stormed the gates and put the game on hold
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from third base to Huntington
They'd sing another victory song
Two! Three! Four!
Tessie, Nuff Said McGreevey shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Tessie, you are the only only only
The Rooters gave the other team a dreadful fright
Boston's tenth man could not be wrong
Up from third base to Huntington
They'd sing another victory song
Two! Three! Four!
Tessie, Nuff Said McGreevey shouted
We're not here to mess around
Boston, you know we love you madly
Hear the crowd roar to your sound
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Boston, you are the only only only
Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
You know we couldn't live without you
Red Sox, you are the only only only

"The IROC-Z Song"
---------------------------------------------------
He Rocks his IROC Z
He rocks it well
He rocks his Oakleys and his Oakley loaf from hell
He’s spinning donuts out in front of Taco Bell
The girls are wanting him so bad and he can tell
I shred for Hella days
You know I can
4 finger tapping yeah Van Halen is the man
he’s making fun because I play in marching band
he’s getting action while I get my farmer tan\
Chorus
hey
there’s ego in my way
lucky for me I have the patience of a saint
ready, steady
these days are high and heady
there’s so much more left to say
but there’s ego in my way
He plays the ladies man
He plays it cool
I play my guitar and I play it by the rules
You think you rock so hard I challenge you to duel
After school after school after school
Let me hear you say
Chorus
hey
there’s ego in my way
lucky for me I have the patience of a saint
ready, steady
these days are high and heady
there’s so much more left to say
but there’s ego in my way
there’s ego in my way
there’s ego in my way
there’s ego in my way

"You Owe Me An IOU"
---------------------------------------------------
He was in the habit of taking things for granted, granted
there wasn't much for him to take
and the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd
never change
Tight fisted with his compliments it didnt seem to bother him
that talk is only cheaper talkin' back
and the only thing constant was the constant reminder he'd
never change
and so she yelled at him:
You owe me an IOU,
owe me an IOU,
You owe me an IOU,
Don't think that I'll forget,
You owe me an IOU,
owe me an IOU,
You owe me an IOU,
Don't think that I'll forget,
I know what I should get this time
She was in the habit of re-applying make up, make up
Eating up my crocodile tears
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd
never change
A barely individual cleverly traditional she couldnt seem to
make up her mind,
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder she'd
never shine,
And so he yelled at her:
You owe me an IOU,
owe me an IOU,
You owe me an IOU,
Dont think that I'll forget,
You owe me an IOU,
owe me an IOU,
You owe me an IOU,
Dont think that I'll forget,
I know what I should get this time
Oh, What isnt real,
I dont know,
but I have this feeling,(?)
Whats the deal,
I dont know,
but I have this feeling,(?)
heres what I think,
that it is if it is,
and this might just work
They were in the habit of taking things for granted granted
they never quite knew what they had
And the only thing constant was the constant reminder they'd
never change,
And so they yelled out loud:
You owe me an IOU,
owe me an IOU,
You owe me an IOU,
Dont think that I'll forget,
You owe me an IOU,
owe me an IOU,
You owe me an IOU,
Dont think that I'll forget,
I know what I should get yeah I know what I should get this time.

"Honest Mistake"
---------------------------------------------------
People
They don't mean a thing to you
They move right through you
Just like your breath
But sometimes
I still think of you
And I just wanted to
Just wanted you to know
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud
My old friend...
I sweat I never meant for this
I never meant...
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake

"We Got The Noise"
---------------------------------------------------
The kids, the sound, the passion
We got our hopes we have our say
No rules, no fakes, no fashion anyway
The friends, the fun, the meaning
We’re gonna have it our own way, oh, oh
The sweat, the blood, the feeling
We came here to play
'Cause we got the noise!
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
We got the noise so here we go
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
This is our voice, this is our show
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
All you boys, all you girls, put it on, turn it up
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
We got the noise and we don't stop
The bored, the scarred, the broken
Together we will take a stand
The life, the choice, the moment's in our hand
The time (the time!), the place (the place!), the message
that we try to send oh, oh
Create (create!), take action make your demands, make your
demands, demands now
We got the noise!
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
We got the noise so here we go
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
This is our voice, this is our show
(Whoo-hooo, whoo-hooo)
All you boys, all you girls, put it on, turn it up
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
We got the noise, c'mon, let's go
We got the noise! (Whoo-hooo)
We got the noise! (We got it! We got it!)
We got the noise! (Whoo-hooo)
We got the noise and we don’t...
Let our friends down
Rest in silence
We amplify
And get around!
'Cause we got the noise!
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
We got the noise so here we go
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
This is our voice, this is our show
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
All you boys, all you girls, we just want you to know
(Whoo-hooo whoo-hooo)
We got the noise, c'mon, let's go
We got the noise! (We got it! We got it!)
We got the noise! (We got it! We got it!)
We got the noise! (We got it! We got it!)
We got the noise! (We got it! We got it!)
We got the noise! (Whoo-hooo)
We got the noise! (Whoo-hooo)
We got the noise! (Whoo-hooo)

"Pressure Point"
---------------------------------------------------
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I feel it in work, you know, I feel it in bed
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I've paid all my bills and I've acted so well
Ain't been cheating, there's nothing to tell
So why all this pressure, I dont understand
I call on my neighbours, and lend them a hand
Doctor, oh doctor, I'm willing to learn
Well all of my bones, well they toss and they turn
Mother, oh mother, I'm begging you please
To rid me of madness and cure this disease
... (?) told you what I have become
With all of this pressure, my mind's on a run
... (?) changing, let's hope for the best
Maybe it's something to get off my chest
Doctor, oh doctor, I'm begging you please
To rid me of madness and cure this disease
Mother, oh mother, I'm willing to learn
Well all of my bones, well they toss and they turn
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
I feel it in work, you know, I feel it in bed
I can't get this pressure point out of my head
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
Pressure pressure pressure pressure...
