Lighten Up

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Oh, you think it but you can't believe

So you say it's like that

Yeah, you see it but you can't be seen

Now is it like that?

So, hey, hey, hey, yeah, where you coming from?

Hey, hey, hey, we are all an equal some

Hey, hey, hey, you got the attitude

That everything's important 'cause the news is always new to you

You're not underground

You're just silly now

Oh, my foolish pup lighten up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lighten up

Hey, you want it but you can't receive

So you say it's like that

Hey, you know it but you can't agree

Now is it like that?

So, hey, hey, hey, yeah, where you coming from?

Hey, hey, hey, we are all an equal some

Hey, hey, hey, you got the attitude

That everything's important 'cause the news is always new to you

You're not underground

You're just silly now

Oh, my foolish pup lighten up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lighten up

You're not underground

You're just silly now

Oh, my foolish pup lighten up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lighten up

Be careful with the tongue

Then softer with the words you choose

Take your time, take your time

Take your time to find your own groove

Hey, hey, when information comes around

Hey, hey, well, let a message be found

Hey, hey, has your conviction sold out?

Hey, hey, has your conviction sold out?

You're not underground

You're just silly now

Oh, my foolish pup lighten up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lighten up

You're not underground

You're just silly now

Oh, my foolish pup lighten up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lighten up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lighten up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lighten up

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, lighten up
