Stay Calm

lyrics

Gotta stay calm, try not to freak
No one’s doing you harm, gotta keep it in perspective

Gotta take down the heat, try to be cool
The word on the street is you’re overreactive

I know the pressure’s on
I seen the atom bomb
I’ve seen the Bible belt
The product that it sells
They pushing tv news to fit your fear into
A tiny little hole to buy and sell your soul

They’re turning all the groovy ladies and all the funky dudes
Into a pack of killer robots who are wired for the rules

I know the spirit’s gone
I’ve seen the honky tonks
Turned into parking lots
Outside the supermart
Selling repackaged art
Designed to sterilize
I’ve seen the glassy eyes
of all the girls and guys
Sitting side by side
Their faces in the screens
As if they’d never seen
How sexy life can be
When you reach out and dream

Man have you seen the way they drive like they just cannot wait to die
Like they’re inflicting suicide on every man woman and child
And what’s with all the racket, my nerves can barely hack it
If there’s a code to staying mellow kid I need to crack it
That’s just the circus on the streets, the beauty’s buried deep
So just try not to freak
Just stand up straight and breathe

Gotta stay calm, try not to freak
No one’s doing you harm, gotta keep it in perspective
