Calm me down, take away this anger
Don't let me see red, I'm safer with amber
Calm me down and show me a green light
Calm me down, give love tonight
There's a spider climbing up my wall
I get anxious, think it's gonna fall
Crawl all over me, like all the rest
Leave me dying, when I've given my best
Throw me a scrap from your table
I'll give you gold if I was able
Words of wisdom, all I can offer
I've been beaten by the system, left a pauper
Calm me down, take away this anger
Don't let me see red, I'm safer with amber
Calm me down and show me a green light
Calm me down, give love tonight, give love tonight
Plastic bags keep out the rain
Gentle words help keep me sane
I've long ago forgotten what it's like to feel pain
My spirit has been numbed, my mind the same
There used to sides to be taken
Minds to control
It's all useless to me now, I'm just old, I'm old
Calm me down, take away this anger
Don't let me see red, I'm safer with amber
Calm me down, show me a green light
Calm me down, give love tonight
Give love tonight
