[Verse] Oh, the sympathetic’s got a job to do, Keeps you wired when the lions come through. But when the bus is late, or you’ve got a chore, It’s like it forgets what it’s even for. Stress on stress, a stacked-up game, I’d swap it out for one with a softer name. [Chorus] The parasympathetic’s where I’d like to stay, Keeps the jitters and the chaos at bay. It’s the friend you need when the deadlines call, Not a fighter, not a flighter—just calm to all. [Verse 2] When the dinner burns, and it chafes your eyes, Your heart takes off like it’s chasing the skies. Adrenaline rushes, but for heaven’s sake, It’s just a casserole, not a high-speed chase. If calm had branding, a cooler frame, I’d bet on the parasympathetic name. [Bridge] Fight or flight, oh, it’s such a bore, For the bus stop, or the grocery store. Who needs a panic for a little delay? I’d vote for rest and digest any day. [Chorus] The parasympathetic’s where I’d like to stay, Keeps the jitters and the chaos at bay. It’s the friend you need when the deadlines call, Not a fighter, not a flighter—just calm to all. [Outro] So here’s to the nerves that know how to chill, That don’t overreact, don’t overkill. If I could rename it, I’d make it stick, The parasympathetic—my kind of sidekick.
