[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Drifting through this fever dream in microplastic submarines
Your body is not yours, it seems, what the f*ck is happening?
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
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
