Don’t Worry (Your Pretty Little Head) lyrics
by Colson Lin
It's a “Who By Fire” overcast morning
You’re boppin' along to Leonard Cohen's “The Future”
“Destroy another fetus,” I hear my friend warning
We don’t value compassion or nurture
Buddy, isn't it time to switch it up?
Side A to side B, just flip it over
Underneath your dyspepsia, what do you fear?
One side's crimson
The other's older
Do the two-step sidestep
Into your shame
Your fears are a mirrorball
Shinin' your name
Do the two-step sidestep
Into your fears
Life's a humility
May it lay out in years
Years you'll have to figure it out
What you'd do to reality, if you were God?
Years are what “time” is all about
What you’d admit to
If your shames could thaw
I want to hear them, one by one, your cravings
If reality spun around you, what’d be different?
I want to hear them, one by one; be shameless!
If you were God Herself, how'd you do intelligence?
Brother, isn’t it time to switch it up?
Box A to box B, just flip 'er over
Beneath your sadness, what do you fear?
One side's throbbin'
The other’s clover
Do the two-step sidestep
Into your shame
Your fears are a mirrorball
Shinin' our name
Do the two-step sidestep
Into your tears
Humility's humanity
May we tumble out in years
Years you'll have to figure it out
How you'd run reality, if you were God?
Years are what “time” is all about
How you'd redo the simulation
If your shames were us all
Now, break it down
(Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa)
It's the two-step sidestep into your shame
Begin with if you were God
Then tell us what'd be different
(Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa)
Pretend every pixel you ever saw
Was just a simulation
All our intuitions rewritten
All our impulses revisited
(Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa)
By you
(Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa)
How would you exist
If you were the freest existence?
(Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa)
It's the two-step sidestep
Into your difference
Do the two-step sidestep
Into your game
Your soul is a mirrorball
Shinin' your name
Do the two-step sidestep
Into how you vibe diff'rent
Your existence a reflection
A specific interference
Do the two-step sidestep
Into your name
Your fears are a mirrorball
Shinin' your game
Do the two-step sidestep
Soulful inference
You exist our humanity
May yours truly make a difference
(Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa)
Buddy, isn't it time to switch it up?
Side A to B, just flip it over
(Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa)
One side's scaredy-cat
The other's bolder
Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa
(Be an interference pattern)
Ba pa pa pa, ba pa papa
(You're an interference pattern)
