Simmmr Down from UNCANNY by Dusty's My Friend

on the soap box where i belong
i will sing a very precious song
about injustice about the pain
that many suffer daily
half of it’s in vain
but i won’t stop no
i’ll speak louder
cover your ears, oh
turn on the shower
but your static
can’t shut me out
you call me chaotic
but i will always shout

an old man will stand up in his seat
his chair fumbling underneath his weight
he will put his hands up to his face
and that is when he’ll try to take my place

he’ll say “simmr down!
we get it, you’re angry
simmr down now,
act like a lady”
the crowd will stand and
shout “simmr down”
but i will refuse and
get message out

people must know know the truth
i’ll write it in pen post it up in different hues
people u must hold, hold onto your pride
don’t let anyone take that from your side

in the outlets where i belong
i’ll do my part to power your song
you deserve to sing so belt it out
you deserve to dance
so take off your shoes now

don’t let them say
“simmr down now
we get it, we get it,
put your head down”
don’t let them
hold your tongue tight
don’t let them
hinder your sight

they’ll say “simmr down!
we get it, you’re angry
simmr down now,
just keep on waiting”

simmr down simmr down
pull your fists out
simmr down simmr down
they say there’s no need to shout
they are wrong, they are wrong
they don’t want you to see
they are lying they are lying
they want you to believe. x2
