Keep Still! Lyrics

chorus:

did you think you got it done?
does it fill you up with pride?
did you know it begs the question
that the whole damn thing's a lie
how could it ever be
that no one's looking for you
karma calls in her own way
but why should we pay your dues?

i'm high and dry, i'm seized with a cramp
i'm chasing a fly and Indian hemp
i'm a man of a different stamp
my heart beats on my ribs like a tapper
i want to escape from this state
i want to escape from this state
i want to escape from this state
from this state at any rate

i'm not the man whom you look for
behind the closed door I keep my patience in store i cling to a straw, you're quick on the draw
in your mind everyone's worthy of the rope
you are a misanthrope, you can kill off by rope
you are a misanthrope, you can kill off by rope
you are a misanthrope, you can kill off by rope
kill off by rope, but i hope against hope

chorus...

clean your mind please
take a new lease of life
but I don't want to evangelize
it's a hard row to hoe, no thank you
i'm not your P.O.W.
believe me, you are ill
KEEP STILL!
believe me and swallow this bitter pill....

chorus...
