Stay Untamed!
Uncle Bard and the Dirty Bastards Lyrics

The phone rang nine times this morning
You were asleep, and the phone rang nine times, interrupting and disturbing you early in the morning, depriving you of sleep.

And the alarm did the same
Just as the phone had, the alarm had rung nine times also in the morning, leaving you shattered and tired.

Cracked back 'cause you're on stress
Your back hurts with stress because of your circumstances which are making you anxious.

Since you don't remember when
You have been under stress for so long that you don't know the last time you were stress-free.

The doctor says you need a diet
Your health condition is poor, making it essential for you to follow a particular diet, as recommended by the doctor.

A new pillow and a cure
You need a better pillow to sleep on, and you further require medicines to heal your stress and anxiety.

Traffic jam, screaming lads:
The streets are noisy with blaring horns and shouting people.

Nothing comes up right today
You feel that everything today has turned out to be miserable and unsatisfactory.

Just run away
As you cannot handle your stressed-out life, you are planning to run away from everything.

Don't look back again
You don't want to look back at your failed life and hope to succeed someday.

So stay untamed,
Don't ever lose your wildness, the way of life that is free and uncontrolled.

We're born on a leash,
When we are born, we start living under the control of others, whether it's our parents, society or government.

You really want to die the same?
Do you want to die being controlled by others, similarly to how you have lived?

Do we live to grow gaunt and grumpy on a chair
Do we want to live a life that only leads to us growing thin and haggard, feeling sorry for ourselves, and just sitting on the chair?

Or will we dare to fail and start again?
Will we try new things and take risks or just always play it safe and never change?

Did you check the mails, did you pay the bills,
Did you complete all your daily chores, like paying bills and checking emails?

Did you count the minutes, the hours and the days
Do you calculate every moment, hour, and day of your life and feel like time is running out?

You spend oiling the machine?
Are you just merely maintaining the status quo of your life or living a life without freedom?

Now look out your window,
Look outside your window and see the world for what it is.

Now look out there my friend,
Observe the world, my friend, and what it has to offer.

Do you see the world is turning
The world is always changing and evolving, revolving around us, with or without our consent.

And you're stuck in your life-lasting routine
You are living in a monotonous life, stuck in a routine that never changes.

Against the strain of life
Life is hard, but we must fight against it, like a wave against the shore.

Against these strangling times
The times are difficult, and it feels as if they are choking us and trying to control us.

Breath, get a pint, roll away and take your time
Relax, take a break, unwind, and go get some beer or anything that you like, and just take your time.

There's always a better way to go
There is always another path that we can take; we don't have to remain stuck in our current situation.

Off the leash, off the leash
Get out of your current and confining situation, let go of your constraints.

There's plenty of the world to see
There is so much to explore and see in the world.

Out of this cage, away from here
Shoot for the skies, break open the cage, and escape from this place.

Off the leash, off the leash
Get out from under someone's control.

Off these safe rails trying to live free
Get away from this safe life, and try something new, something that gives you a sense of freedom.
