Don't Panic

guitar, vocal, drums, bass, fuzz guitar, organ-type device


Take the best of what we know
From right now and long ago
Cheap tickets to the show
That's playing everywhere
As we eliminate
The marketplace for hate
No one accumulates
And there's no cosmic vow
The payoff is here and now

Don't, don't panic
There's a way to plug in to the sun
No, don't panic
There is power and peace for everyone
No, no, don't panic
We know how to lean upon the wind
No, don't panic
Everybody wins

Empire dying makes the sound
Of people spinning round
In media machines
That run all night and day
We're told there will always be a gap
We're fooled and then we're trapped
By quick and easy fun
Distract our lives away
While the world turns grey

But don't, don't panic
There's a way to plug in to the sun
No, don't panic
There is power and peace for everyone
No, no, don't panic
We know how to lean upon the wind
No, don't panic
Everybody wins
