Calm Down Lyrics by Les Savy Fav

Root for Ruin

2010

The city's made of stone
The city's [?] grass
The city's [?] are tiny
But the city's also fast
Our shoes are from the future
But our feet are from the past
We try to drag things forward
But our bodies hold us back
And I can't calm down
(Calm down, Calm down, calm down, calm down)
I can't calm down
I cannot calm down now
(Calm down, Calm down, calm down, calm down)
I can't calm down
I cannot calm down now
(Calm down, Calm down, calm down, calm down)
I can't calm down
I cannot calm down now
(Calm down, Calm down, calm down, calm down)
I can't calm down
I cannot calm down now
[Verse 2]
The city is a prison
And the [?] feels like a cell
Let's sharpen up our [?]
And descend ourselves to hell
The warden feets us poison
So I guess it's just as well
That I can't calm down
I can't calm down
I cannot calm down now
Why must we make
The same mistakes
That we have made
Since ancient times
Why must we make the same mistakes
That we have made since ancient days
Why must we make the same mistakes
That we have made since ancient days
Why must we make the same mistakes
That we have made since ancient days
Why must we make the same mistakes
That we have made since ancient days
Calm down, calm down, calm down
Right now
