Calm Down

Fuck it man, I stuck seven needles in my back
Eighteen nails in my feet, no slack
Rope around my left arm, chains on the right
Duct tape wrapped around my stomach just to hide
External wiring trying to bring joy
I have another lifestyle since I was a boy
Razorblade coating on the roof of my mouth
Muck done, duck out the back door

South of the good side, east of the pain
Fourteenth outward from the surface of my brain
Stained work clothes, folded in the fire, brought 'em home
South Carolina polluted beach home
Dodge crooks, fishing hook sink enterprise
Lie to everybody keep the truth televised
Toothless jawbone, talk about the day
The day I float up out and away?

Hot coals on my elbow, skin thicker
Apartheid stickers slowly fade
Replaced by American flag from (????)
My own green crayon from the enemy's boxes
Sabotaged self preservation with toxins
Spinal column reads like a romance novel
Taco outlooks like a bash in the books
Until time, scrape all the gunk from my mind
And now I say goodbye
And now I say goodbye

(Adios!)

(Adios!) No quiero ir contigo
(Arrivederci!) Vayas con dios
(Aieee!) That's how you know I'm gonna try
And now I say goodbye

(Adios!) No quiero ir contigo
(Arrivederci!) Vayas con dios
(Aieee!) That's how you know I'm gonna try
And now I say goodbye
Goodbye

Calm the fuck down
Chill out, relax, you take it easy about the worry
Just silence that sound
Comin' over (????) static (????) you now please
Grab it when you can, and when you can I reduce the rage
I refuse to page anybody to aid me
I get paid the legal way, see I stay free
(????) cocktails (????) know me
(Slide) I let it slide, yo
(Just get by) Is that just enough for me, da A?
"Da what?" Da A.H.P. over O.C.D.
Totin' double (????) coverage in the city
Look at me, I'm not about the
U.U.C. freaking out over nothing
(????), I gotta remove the norm

I see you, you've been sittin' too long
So I pulse up a needle from my spine
Rip out the duct tape, no time for you whiners
You either give up the fight or get behind us
I just don't give a fuck, it's easy like that
You really let it go, then it don't come back
I know all the pros and the cons, all that
Stack no books, keep it crisp and exact
I let it flow free from the back of my mind
Before I say goodbye
Before I say goodbye

(Adios!) No quiero ir contigo
(Arrivederci!) Vayas con dios
(Aieee!) That's how you know I'm gonna try
And now I say goodbye

(Adios!) No quiero ir contigo
(Arrivederci!) Vayas con dios
(Aieee!) That's how you know I'm gonna try
And now I say goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
