Shaggy's Anthem Lyrics

Me, an intellectual

I greet anxiety with a friendly pull

We live in a society

Or so I'm told

By friends on the internet

Generation meaningless

But I'm scared as I'm laughing at the capitalists

My fear and adrenaline are stalking me

Disguised as the government

Relax

Take it back

No use in worrying

All together now

Happy

Then get terrified

I will not run away

No more

Ah

Don't wanna be afraid

Though I'm sure

That I'm surrounded by

Monsters like to haunt me

Villains are all around me

But

I will not run away

No more

Ah

Ah

Running down a mystery

When all I wanna do is have a bite to eat

My dog is in the corner with a panic attack

My lover lost her vision, but I'm getting it back, cuz

Funny how the monsters are

The ones you trusted from the very start

The friendliest among us wear a different mask

And greed is all around us like a diseased bat

Yeah

Relax

Take it back

No use in worrying

All together now

Happy

Then get terrified

I will not run away

No more

Ah

Don't wanna be afraid

Though I'm sure

That I'm surrounded by

Monsters like to haunt me

Villains are all around me

But

I will not run away

No more

Ah

Ah

Straight up

I'll be strong for you

Pretending's what I'll do

But isn't that the same?

Ooo

I will not run away

No more

Ah

Don't wanna be afraid

Though I'm sure

That I'm surrounded by

Monsters like to haunt me

Villains are all around me

But

I will not run away

No more

Ah

Ah
