Chill Like a Capybara: A Green Lounge Records Cover (Avant-garde free-jazz)

Six a.m. and the phone won't quit Another expert says the sky's just lit Scroll past a war, scroll past a scam Scroll past a guy who doesn't give a damn I'm sitting in a hot spring, sipping on my tea Watching all you humans lose your dignity The banner keeps on scrolling, red and urgent, bold But baby I've got secrets that the ancients told Pre-Chorus Everybody's yelling, nobody's home Panic is the only thing that's ever fully grown So come on in the water, it's warmer than it looks Chorus Chill like a capybara while the world's on fire Sit real still, let the chaos climb up higher I ain't dumb, honey, I just don't bite I've seen six extinctions and I'm still polite The world keeps ending — again, again — So I sit with the birds on my head like friends You call it denial, I call it a skill Chill like a capybara — the world's on fire, but I'm chill Verse 2 Breaking news at every hour on the hour Somebody's always losing all their power The ticker never stops, the outrage never rests Everybody's got the receipts, nobody's got the rest I watched the whole thing burn down twice already Kept my heart rate slow and steady Not 'cause I don't care — I care a whole hot ton I just refuse to let the panic win the war it's won Pre-Chorus Everybody's yelling, nobody's listening Fear's the only product that keeps glistening So come on in the water, it's warmer than it looks Chorus Chill like a capybara while the world's on fire Sit real still, let the chaos climb up higher I ain't dumb, honey, I just don't bite I've seen six extinctions and I'm still polite The world keeps ending — again, again — So I sit with the birds on my head like friends You call it denial, I call it a skill Chill like a capybara — the world's on fire, but I'm chill Bridge (spoken/campy, half-serious) Listen. I'm not saying don't care. I'm saying don't burn the whole barn down worrying about the weather. You can hold the truth AND hold your composure, sweetheart. The news wants your nervous system. Don't give it up for free. Final Chorus (bigger, drag-belt) Chill like a capybara — one more time! While the world's on fire, honey, that's just the vibe I ain't numb, I ain't dumb, I just don't fight I've seen everything burn and I'm STILL polite The world keeps spinning — let it, let it — I'll be right here, wet, unbothered, and iconic You call it denial — bitch, it's a skill Chill like a capybara The world's on fire But I'm chill.
