Akira The Don, Alan Watts - Don't Do It lyrics

Monks used to keep skulls on their desks
And people nowadays think that
Was very morbid everything's falling apart

So don’t try and stop it
When you're falling off the precipice
It doesn't do you any good do hang
Onto a rock that's falling with you
But everything is doing that
So, again this is another case of
Our completely wasting our energy
In trying to prevent the
World from falling apart

Don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it
And then you'll be able to do something
Interesting with the free energy

With the free energy

With the free energy

When the Hindu says, "Everything is unreal"
The Westerner reacts and says
"No- no we can't treat life as a dream
It's serious it's real it's for real"
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"How real do you want it to be?"

This is in other words
Everything insofar as it’s falling
Apart everything is changing
It is like smoke
And we all feel that smoke has a
Lesser degree of reality than wood
It's an image of the evanescent
Of the ghostly so, it’s this idea the whole
World is this mirage
That doesn’t mean it's a bad thing
It's only bad if you cling to it
If you try to lean on it
But if you don't lean on it
It's a grand illusion

So, the word Maya and that
Means not only illusion but it means art
It means magic and it means creative power
So, this is the big act

Don’t do it don’t do it don’t do it
And then you'll be able to do something
Interesting with the free energy

With the free energy

With the free energy

And uh it's perhaps
Easier to feel the world in that
Way in a tropical country where
Death is very common
And where you just watch things
Dissolve before your eyes
And yet burst out and grow again
The whole world is changing
Maybe easier to think that way
Than in our environment
Although when you're out in California
The human landscape changes so fast
That no town is the same for two years
Any mailing list that you have changes
One-third addresses per annual
Nothing stays put
The hills are shadows and they flow from
Form to form and nothing stands
