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
