Sometimes, you must recalculate like a GPS
So you won't inevitably fall flat on your desk
(You can see that I am cautious in choosing my words)
You cannot paint everybody with the same paint brush
You must start over, do not put your body in a deep flush
Like an innocent toddler playing with deadly swords
You must rethink or recalculate from time to time
You must be open-minded, do not blindly follow your pulse
‘Cause ignorance causes disastrous or unfortunate results
Everybody is different; a human being is not a stupid mime
Treat people fairly as you want to be treated; things happen
Due to some strangely unexplained reasons and nobody is perfect
You must recalculate or give someone another chance. That's correct
Give yourself also another opportunity to get it right. Amen
Sometimes, you must recalculate like a GPS
So you won't inevitably fall naked on your bass.
