Lyrics
[Verse 1] You circle round like vultures in a tailored suit
Pointing fingers at the rot from which you planted root
You push the button, watch the pressure start to rise
Then look into my face with your condescending eyes
You create the storm, you construct the fire
Feeding every panic with a smiling liar
And then you have the nerve to step inside my view
And whisper that I need to dial down the hue!
[Chorus] DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN — YOU NEVER HEARD A DAMN THING!
DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN — YOU NEVER HEARD A DAMN THING!
You poured the gasoline, you struck the final match
Now stand back and watch the total fire catch!
[Verse 2] A prescription for a plague that you manufacture twice
Selling off your empathy at a fucking high price
You drive me to the edge just to watch me toe the line
Then lecture me on patience while you swallow down the wine
Every single trigger was installed by your design
Every jagged injury was drawn out by your pen
And you expect obedience from beaten-down men?
You can fuck right the fuck off!
[Chorus] DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN — YOU NEVER HEARD A DAMN THING!
DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN — YOU NEVER HEARD A DAMN THING!
You poured the gasoline, you struck the final match
Now stand back and watch the total fire catch!
[Chorus] DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN — YOU NEVER HEARD A DAMN THING!
DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN — YOU NEVER HEARD A DAMN THING!
You poured the gasoline, you struck the final match
Now stand back and watch the total fire catch!
[Final Chorus] DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN — YOU NEVER HEARD A DAMN THING!
DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN — YOU NEVER HEARD A DAMN THING!
You poured the gasoline, you struck the final match
Now stand back and watch the total fire catch!
