The Lyrics

Part of my "I Want Music" self-challenge. I am of the fervent belief that the only good crunch is food-related. And even then it's food that's supposed to crunch, like celery. No-one wants a crunchy sausage, you feel me?
Is what I've done worth a scold?
In your mind, there's no doubt, but I'm not really sold
I understand my story blows
But there's a factor that you should know

'Cause I got hurried: "Finish right now (right now)!"
Really hard to type (hey) when you hear that line screamed so
I got hurried: "Finish right now (right now)!"
Forced into a rush (hey), so I'm not real proud, you know
Of my hurried finish
Hate my hurried finish
Hey

If I may be rather bold
Short deadlines should be grounds for more leeway to stall
So the end product doesn't blow
You'll only get angry customers, so yeah
I'm at my best when I'm not rushin' a project for real
Pretty easy to catch problems when all of 'em feel, yeah, yeah
Like issues I can get through, no really big deal
I'll take care of 'em as I go

But I got hurried: "Finish right now (right now)!"
Let 'em all slip by (hey) to meet the deadline, this blows
I got hurried: "Finish right now (right now)!"
Couldn't sift the junk (hey), schedule wasn't sound, you know
Hence my hurried finish
Hate my hurried finish
Hey

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I got hurried
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh), ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh, no, no

I got hurried: "Finish right now (right now)!"
You can't act surprised (hey) that I had no time, don't joke
I got hurried: "Finish right now (right now)!"
Who yelled that? It was (hey) your impatient clown ass, bro
Want a hurried finish?
Ooh-ooh, hey, oh-oh-oh
Get a hurried finish
Ooh-ooh, hey
Hate my hurried finish

Man, of all the things to bring OneRepublic back into the public eye, a soundtrack song to a Tom Cruise sequel I'm not sure anyone wanted would not have been on my bingo card. Probably because I forget that Top Gun is a thing, I was only -5 when the original came out, after all.
