how can I be calm and collected dear doc
when they’re setting their boots
on my own very roots
and a-ban and a-poison all
my herbs an’ my mojo
and slashin‘ down trees
just for christmas and stock
for a bonfire smoke
all those coffins galore
that are state of the art
to their very rotten core
while they screenin’ me up
into a virtual paradise
they launch on me their arms
race beyond my blue skies
while a billions a children
cry hungry and sore
they’re settin‘ their boots
on man’s own ancient roots
they create scienzombie
get me all womby-tomby
and wash up them phosphorous
babes on my shores
I can’t just be calm
and collected no more
oh please can you help me
to push right on through
cause I think what a shame
what a shambles
keep thinkin‘ what a shame
what a shambles
but don’t you get lazy
and don’t you back out child
it’s about how you placin’
your chips in that bet
y‘wanna know about it kid
wanna know about it peoples
you wanna know about
your fate in this gamble
your fate in this game
better scream what a shame
what a shambles
should insist what a shame
what a shambles
hannibal the cannibal is
a funny little joke
compared to what they’d
figured out there for you
is it five hundred years
or sixty-eight ‘n‘ some more
from bright hopes straight
to no hope’s deep blues
you can’t change your nature
want to keep to your lore
though they give you a hard time
for your color and hue
I can’t be so calm
and collected no more ‘cause
genetically engineered is
their war against you
me too I’m an outcast
degenerate white trash
might have launched you an arms race
right out to your blue space
might have gone scienzombie
got you all womby-tomby
and washed up your
phosphorous babes on the shore
but I just can’t be calm
and collected no more
oh please can you help me
to push right on through
wanna know about
my odds in this gamble
got to scream what a shame
what a shambles
