歌詞

Everybody learned the angle

Everybody learned the pace

How to keep the sentence level

How to keep the needed face

Nobody blocked the doorway

Nobody missed the train

Everybody had a reason

Not to say the real thing plain

We stayed useful

We stayed clean

We stayed easy

To leave unseen

Mass Composure

Hold the line

Keep the room polite

Keep the warning sign

Under the collar

Out of the frame

Mass Composure

Everybody looks the same

Someone answered from the bathroom

Someone cried and joined the call

Someone took the morning meeting

With their back against the wall

Someone smiled for the picture

Someone paid the bill

Someone said, “I’m almost there”

And sat completely still

We stayed pleasant

We stayed brief

Made our breaking

Look like relief

Mass Composure

Hold the line

Keep the room polite

Keep the warning sign

Under the collar

Out of the frame

Mass Composure

Everybody looks the same

No one wants to be the first one

No one wants to make it clear

No one wants to name the pressure

Sitting perfectly in here

So we nod across the table

So we type the safer phrase

So we leave each other stranded

In acceptable ways

Mass Composure

Hold the line

Keep the room polite

Keep the warning sign

Under the collar

Out of the frame

Mass Composure

Everybody looks the same
