lyrics

It’s the year of the freak out
(The year of the freak out)
Can’t carry on and calm down
(Can’t carry on and calm down)
This is the year of the freak out
(The year of the freak out)
Bout to get a little mental
Turning tables over in the temple

Marvin Gaye's what's going on
Blasting on them headphones
Pretty much the same nonsense man
Different verse same song
Etch it on our headstone
We had the best of intentions
But had to get our beauty sleep in
Stay caught up on the Mad Men
Now we’re caught up in that madness

Hold on playa the answer’s blowing in the breeze
Chill out it’s only a catastrophe
All this drama got ya sounding like a fool
The world’s on fire but everything’s cool

It’s the year of the freak out
(The year of the freak out)
Can’t carry on and calm down
Too much at stake now

Putting kids in bodybags
Chalk outlines on the sidewalk
A little yoga gonna clear ya head
Have a good jog down by the graveyard
In a jumpsuit made by “Brain-Washed”
Devil got his style trademarked
Selling bulletproof hoodies at Walmart
Guns by the dozen at Walmart

Hold on playa the answer’s blowing in the breeze
Chill out it’s only a catastrophe
All this drama got ya sounding like a fool
The world’s on fire but everything’s cool

People don’t trust the police don’t trust their priest
Don’t trust the living, don’t trust the deceased, don’t trust the future or history?
Fear is God among the great beast x2
I don’t know about you, and you don’t know about me
But I know the biggest problem with the world is me

It’s the year of the freak out
The year of the freak out
Turning tables over in the church house, in the court house, in the white house, maybe even in my own house
By God maybe even in my own house
