We All Need To Mellow Out

Somebody help me, I don't understand Why people are so damn uptight Not like we're gonna be around forever Aging to ninety or a hundred we might Society needs to really mellow out Our tickers weren't meant for this stress The average lifespan of a healthy peep Could be quite a bit longer, my guess Times we're living in is surely a factor The pace of life is astounding We no sooner marry and raise a family When to old age we go a-bounding Guess I kinda rushed you through life Didn't mean to dampen your dreams But oh for the laid back days of the past Or at least that's how they seemed
