From “Fun Facts For Sharon”
We created this teaching song for you. It is adapted from a song taught to the relatively few and unlucky CC members coming from areas where there are diseases born of Fear. Well, it’s probably more accurate to call it a ditty. Please note, Sharon, the verse at the end is included for a specific reason that is a bit out of place here, but we want you to be exposed to this verse as soon as possible because there could be times when you may be—temporarily—thrust back onto Earth or some other unfamiliar Unaware environment without warning. Try not to be alarmed by that sentence. No, really, try not to be alarmed by it. Focusing on the song will help. We promise.
Amygdalas in Overdrive
Amygdalas in Overdrive
Will not ever let you thrive!
Amygdalas in Overdrive
It’s when our IQs take a dive!
Amygdalas in Overdrive
Produce xenophobic little hives
Don’t be Over active!
Don’t be Over active!
Amygdalas in Overdrive
Is when we act like we are five
Amygdalas in Overdrive
That’s how the hateful thoughts survive:-(
Amygdalas in Overdrive
The only time war arrives!
It’s way better to think it through
Than believe the silly lies are true
Don’t be Over active!
Don’t be Over active!
Amygdalas in Overdrive
Will not ever let you thrive
Amygdalas in Overdrive
It’s when our IQs take a dive
Amygdalas in Overdrive
Make us fearful and connive
I am able to stay real calm
When I sing this little psalm
Don’t be Over active!
Don’t be Over active!
When…my…Amygdala’s in Overdrive
My IQ takes a humongous dive
When I’m calm and think it through
I’ll know more than I ever knew!
*********
(the following are the additional lyrics common mentioned in the introductory paragraph)
Don’t be a stupid* pig
Calm down your brain and eat a fig
The natural fruit that’s good for you
They taste great and steer you true
Full of wisdom and compassion
The time for figs is always in fashion
After you eat a fig, go ahead and say “Ta Da”
Because they will surely calm your amygdala!
*The words ‘sexist,’ ‘racist,’ ‘homophobic,’ ‘classist,’ ‘ageist,’ ‘status monkey,’ ‘elitist snob,’ or ‘general dickhead’ can all be used interchangeably here as needed.
Aside: Technically, in Earth’s most proper English, the plural of amygdala is amygdalae, but within the CC we prefer the more common way of pluralizing nouns. Sounds a bit less pretentious, we think.
