Advice for the Oversensitive
By Mindy S. Kornberg

Verse:
Welcome to our dysfunctional age.
Get used to living in your private emotional cage.
Reaching out can be harmful to your health.
You’ve got to lower your expectations.
Don’t take everything to heart.
Don’t look to friends for salvation,
Just learn to play your part,

Chorus:
And don’t be so sensitive!
Can’t you even take a joke?
Don’t be so sensitive!
Chill out and have a smoke!
Don’t be so sensitive!
You can’t walk around like an open sore.
No one plays by the golden rule anymore.

Verse:
Discover your personal resources.
Stand on your own two f---ing feet!
This world has got no room for crybabies.
It’s all for none and none for all.
There ain’t no more Musketeers.
It’s every man for him self now.
So hey get your ass in gear!

Chorus:
And don’t be so sensitive.
You’ve got to learn how to take a joke.
Don’t be so sensitive.
Chill out and have a toke.
Don’t be so sensitive.
You can’t walk around like an open sore.
No one plays by the golden rule anymore.

Verse:
Now is the time of empowerment.
Put your assertiveness training to work!
Quit all your whining and just rock and roll with the punches.
Your feelings are a dime a dozen.
Don’t bore me with your tale of woe.
Hey, you know I’d love to stay and chat but I’ve gotta go.

Chorus:
So don't be so sensitive!
It’s high time you learned how to take a joke.
You’re just oversensitive!
Chill out man! Don’t have a stroke!
And don’t be so sensitive!
Why walk around like an open sore?
No one plays by the golden rule anymore. (x2)
No one plays by that golden rule anymore.
