Everybody is SO uptight

LIGHTEN UP!
Words and Music by Daniel Curzon, Copyright 2019

VERSE #1:
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO JOY? 
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO PEACE? 
NOW ALL WE EVER HEAR IS OY! 
IT’S UNBEARABLE. OH SHEESH!

CHORUS: GIVE US ALL A BREAK.
LET IT GO, FOR GOD’S SAKE.
YOU’RE TOO UPTIGHT.
ALWAYS RIGHT.
LIGHTEN UP, EVERYONE.
LIGHTEN UP! FEEL THE SUN!
LIGHTEN UP, EVERYONE!

VERSE #2:
ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN STAND. 
ONLY SO MUCH WE CAN TAKE. 
PUT A CORK IN IT, FIREBRAND. 
COOL OFF. GO JUMP IN A LAKE! 

REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE #3: HOW ABOUT A YEAR OF QUIET?
JUST RUN OFF SOMEWHERE AND SNOOZE. 
WITHOUT A SINGLE SHOUT OR RIOT. 
DON’T COME BACK -- UNTIL WE CHOOSE. 
REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE #4: WE UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE GRIPES. 
WE ALL KNOW THAT LIFE’S A MESS. 
WE HAVE TROUBLES TOO, OF ALL TYPES. 
BUT REMEMBER: MORE IS LESS. 
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE #5: YOU LOST ME AT ‘POOR, POOR ME.’ 
AND NO, I’M NOT HARD OF HEART. 
BUT YOU’VE BECOME AN INDUSTRY. 
I’M NO LONGER TAKING PART. 

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT PARTIAL CHORUS: (last three lines of Chorus, ending in exhaustion)
