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.
