Lyrics:
Look up and say YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Peel me like BANANA
but don't believe every word you hear
Goodness I'm so naKED
but don't believe every word you hear
YAAAAAAAAA

Camera
You got nice flash
but don't believe every word you hear
Boyfriend
Won'y you see ME
but don't believe every word you hear

I'm a mammal with a hairy head
I never wanted to be so afraid
In the jelly of a tidal wave
I never wanted to be so afraid
OH YAAAAAAAA

Ha! Pick it up, get on the floor, do your push ups do your sit ups
Do your chores do your homework you were good you were bad you were good again you were bad
Just so you know you're getting graded and if you don't get in line and if you don't get on the floor and if you don't tie your shoes in a perfect figure eight there's gonna be a big problem on your hands
Here we go!

Wow wow what a special day!

I'm an ape stuck in a glass of Tang
I never wanted to be so afraid
All my buddies took my voice away
I never wanted to be so afraid
No my fairies all abandoned me
I never wanted to be so afraid

Said this in a comment under the previous single: this stuff is exactly what Beatles would sound in 2019, in the sense that you're not a copycat but just the natural evolution of that kind of Psychedelia. Astonishing

[benkohler]

This song feels like that point you reach while in a depression, where you realize the absurdity of reality, and begin to think that nothing really matters at all, so you might as well just stop caring about anything and everything and nothing. My favorite off the album.

Occasionally I'll google lyrics to ben levin songs like, "I never wanted to be so afraid"
And the one and only one result, is that specific song
Honestly to me Ben's music is timeless, in the sense that no matter what era of his youtube channel the song is from, I still listen to it

[stxxcrisler]

SO GOOD BEN!!! This music is awesome and your editing skills are getting scary-good!!!

[balisticam]

4am, yup YouTube, just where I thought I would end up at the end of the night. 😂 but honestly this put a smile on my face. Keep being you, radiating the journey of life, going in your very own unique direction, it is something special.

[elmer]

Your music always sounds like you're having so much fun and I love that

[BAwesomeDesign]

Genuinely think the first four tracks off this new record are the best tunes Ben has ever done.

[Caleb-zjxi]

I liked this. It was so unapologetic about everything.

[addiejoy]

Every day now, I make sure to look up and say,

[More_Dread]

you beautiful monster ben

[lassefederfu]

all comes together now. the music, the visuals. congratulations!

[pizzatime]

this conveys the same emotion and experience of finding death grips for the first time and absolutely banging out

[YellowSpaceMarine]

It's goofy and weird, but also legitimately really good music. Love it

[isaacfunguy]

This song made me slightly uncomfortable. So good work.

[vincentbeard]

Thank you for saving me time transcribing the solo

[koitsuga]

Really incredible stuff. You're really making a lot of music I feel like I've been waiting to hear for a long time and a fan of some of the more avant garde 20th century rock bands

[johnhamon]

I'm watching this 3 hours into an acid trip.

Life is good.
