I’m walking home

Look over my shoulder

The sound of my steps

These echos in the dark

People I meet

Don’t look them in the eyes, no

Keep watching the street

Do not stop and talk

Oh I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Better calm down

I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Better calm down

There’s no need to be terrified

I’d better calm down

Better calm down, oh down

Fear is a curse

Spreading like a fire

Yeah, fear is the street

You no longer walk

And if you still do it’s like

Walking on a wire

Don’t you fall off

Cause nobody saw

Oh I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Better calm down

I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Better calm down

There’s no need to be terrified

I’d better calm down

Better calm down, oh

But a family cries

How can you calm each other

When your boy lost his life?

And we’re walking home

Don’t look at one another

And kids in the streets

Start playing with knifes

And this is our home

Yeah this is our town

Oh I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Better calm down

I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Better calm down

There’s no need to be terrified

I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Oh I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Better calm down

I’d better calm down

Better calm down

Better calm down

There’s no need to be terrified

I’d better calm down

Better calm down
