Easy Slow Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

You say you're confused
And all of your friends asking you why
You act like you do
The faster you run, the farther you're behind
It goes to show, take it easy slow
I think you'll like what you find, hey hey

You paint on your face
Eager to please and take your place
Now outside, so sadly to find
All of your pictures there were painted by the blind
Goes to show, take it easy slow
I think you'll like what you find, like what you find

Was a time when the world was turnin' slower
You could sit back, enjoy it, growin' older
And now when you go it's twice the speed of sound

Everyone is gettin' much smarter
How come life's gettin' much harder ?
Take it easy, baby, take it slow

You say you're confused
And all of your friends they keep askin' why you
Why you act like you do
And maybe you do but it's no good to cry
It only goes to show, take it easy slow
I think you'll like what you find, like what you find
