Be calm, be quiet
/
As your mom walks by
/
Be calm, be quiet
/
When your mom walks by
And look at me
And follow my lead...
I'm combing my hair
Putting lotion on my skin
Waving to friends
Hey, it's me again
/
Be calm, be quiet
/
As the cop drives by
/
Stand right there like a poison well
/
When the cops drive by
And look at me
Leaning against the fence
Playing scratch and win
Lighting a smoke
Nodding to friends
Hey, it's me again

Post-Chorus/Bridge/Interlude thinger:
We ditched out the parade
And what was there to commemorate?
And what was left to remember?
Not sure what really happened on that day
Got steel dust in a vial
And anodized tiles
In my pocket
From Tower Two
[The rest of the song follows the same pattern]
Be calm, be quiet
As the drones fly by
Look at me, still as a Monterey pine
As the drones fly by
Look at me
And follow my lead...
I'm combing my hair
Lighting a smoke
Playing scratch and win
If they catch me, they catch me
But I'll be running...
We ditched out the parade
And what was there to commemorate?
And what was left to remember?
Not sure what really happened on that day
Got steel dust in a vial
And anodized tiles
In my pocket
From Tower Two
Not sure what really happened on that day
