I’m walking home
Look over my shoulder
The sound of my steps
Echos in the dark
People I meet
Don’t look them in the eyes, no
Keep watching the street
Do not stop and talk

Oh I’d
Better calm down
Better calm down
Better calm down
I’d
Better calm down
Better calm down
Better calm down
There’s no need to be terrified
I’d better calm down
Better calm down

Fear is a curse
Spreading like a fire
Yeah fear is the street
You no longer walk
And if you still do it’s like
Walking on a wire
Don’t you fall off
Cause nobody saw

Oh I’d better calm down…

But a family cries
How can you calm each other
When your boy lost his life?
And we’re walking home
Don’t look at one another
And kids in the streets
Start playing with knifes
And this is our home
Yeah this is our town

Oh I’d better calm down…
