[intro]

But I'm terribly disturbed

Emotionally?

Yes

*Scream*

*Cough*

[Verse 1]

It's unlikely that you'll find me doing scream-into-the-mike shit

Not that I dislike it, it's just not in my supply kit

I use dry wit to get by with all this artistic disquiet

Catharsis is a farce that I'm not arsed with 'til you mike it

What I mean is, you can't tell

I don't scream, I never yell

Take my demons and my hell

I make it seem like all is well

I maintain a certain standard and a certain kind of cool

When I'm pained and hurt and angered I'm unburdened by this rule

[Chorus]

Don't get dejected

Or disrespеcted

Be cool

Calm

And affectеd

Don't get Aggressive

Be impressive

Be a living work of art and craft

And laugh

[Verse 2]

I've imbalanced vital humours, but then humour is subjective

And tragedy and comedy are matters of perspective

You're a ball of swirling rage, evil power, blood and bile

Recall all the world's a stage, it's your hour, strut with style

Cos disbelief suspended is theatrical denial

And all of grief is mended when we practice to beguile

Stay keeping face though deep beneath is violent and vile

In a weeping place, to keep your teeth, just try a gentle smile

[Chorus]

Don't get dejected

Or disrespected

Be cool

Calm

And affected

Don't get aggressive

Be impressive

Be a living work of art and craft

And laugh

Don't get dejected

Or disrespected

Be cool

Calm

And affected

Don't get aggressive

Be impressive

Be a living work of art and craft

And laugh
