It's a mad, mad world,
tell me not to be so mad about it
It's a sad, sad world,
tell me that I oughta laugh about it
Funny thing is I'm the one
with the cool head,
everything's fine if you pretend
Bless this mess, hallelujah,
but I'm about to lose it
Two, three, four
Don't tell me to calm down,
tell me to calm down
It's freaking me out that
you're not freaking out
Don't tell me I'll be fine
even if you're right
It's freaking me out,
don't tell me to calm down
It's a mad, mad world,
trying not to lose my shit about it
In a bad, bad mood,
maybe I should take a hit about it
Every other day I need a hug
like a teddy bear,
now the room's on fire,
need to get some air
I'll bless this mess, hallelujah,
thoughts and prayers,
so what? Who cares?
Don't tell me to calm down,
tell me to calm down
It's freaking me out that
you're not freaking out
Don't tell me I'll be fine
even if you're right
It's freaking me out,
don't tell me to calm down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't tell me,
don't tell me to calm down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't tell me,
don't tell me to calm down
Drifting through this fever dream
in microplastic submarines
Your body is not yours, it seems,
what the fuck is happening?
Don't tell me to calm down,
tell me to calm down
It's freaking me out that
you're not freaking out
Don't tell me I'll be fine
even if you're right
It's freaking me out,
don't tell me to calm down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't tell me,
don't tell me to calm down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Don't tell me,
don't tell me to calm down
