Resentment rots your innards
And desiccates your soul
Rooting for destruction
Takes a mighty toll
Take a deep breath
And let it out slow
Think about your anger
And try and let go
Hatred is a monster
That you don’t have to feed
It cuts in both directions
And makes the hater bleed
Take a deep breath
And let it out slow
Think about your anger
And try and let go
Are you feeling jealous?
Is your life incomplete?
Are you searching for a scapegoat
In everyone you meet?
Take a deep breath
And let it out slow
Think about your anger
And try and let go
Resentment is a poison
Like the twelve-steppers say
Resist its lethal logic
And pour it down the drain
Take a deep breath
And let it out slow
Think about your anger
And try and let go
