Lyrics

So, it’s the end of the world once again
What is it this week?
Protests over this
Riots over that
Do you remember at the monastery
When the outraged child cried
And Little Monk just sweetly smiled back?
Oh, how and when do I get so zen?
Light the way from your small apartment
Quiet days, worry within your reach
Tend your garden, do not harden
At the cruel and constant spinning of your mind’s demands
Pro-tip for a good heart
Be where your feet are now
So, it’s the end once again of the world
The sophomores bellyache
And demonstrate
Over everything but class
Red suns and ash cover
Half the state of California
Little Monk just meditates
And slowly walks the path
I can’t control what I can’t control
Light the way from your small apartment
Quiet days, worry within your reach
Tend your garden, do not harden
At the cruel and constant spinning of your mind’s demands
Pro-tip for a good heart:
Be where your feet are now
Be where your feet are now
Be where your feet are now
Be where your feet are now
So it’s the end of the world
But I don’t feel so anxious this week
Drawing Canvasbacks and sitting on the grass
Watch as they sweep the park
Trash the tents while it’s still dark
Though once I lived out of a car
I wouldn’t say I’m mad
To have the sidewalk back
