RELAX! Dec. 5/83 Karl Rigelhof

You jump into hyperdrive
All systems overload
You feel your nerves are about to snap
Impatience may cost you lives
You never do what you are told
With your leg snared in the trap
Will you survive
Your intuition starts to take hold
It's time to take heed of the facts
Relax!

You jump (in)to the wrong conclusions
Stubbornness is not the answer
You should bite your tongue to hold it back
Shouting only adds to the confusion
You don't need to feed the anger
We all know where the problem is at
Feel the frustration
You know it can spread like (a) cancer
Unless you take (the) time to think before you act
Relax!

You jump into a defensive stance
No need to take criticism
You counter with a verbal attack
Without giving anyone a chance
You don't want to hear any pessimism
There is something (that) you definitely lack
Patience, for instance
You need a little more optimism
Calm down, take it easy Jack
Relax!

CHORUS:
God damn it, God damn it
Primal scream, soggy dream
Don't let their little schemes
Get the better of you
Mon Dieu, mon dieu
Sacred bleu, it won't do
You'd lose your head, you fool
If it wasn't screwed on
