LYRICS
Give me groceries and booze, give me FaceTime with my friends
Give me intravenous news, little drips of CNN
Give me meditation apps, text me pictures of your dog
Give me life, give me peace, give me noise
Someone gimme fucking Zen
Someone gimme fucking Zen
Someone gimme fucking Zen
give me space
at least six feet
dig my grave just as deep
i got sex on my mind all the time, fuck
scrolling through the internet time suck
i’ve been feeling flat like a pancake
i could use a hug or a handshake
i could use some drugs or a bandaid
cooped up in a hole i wanna lose all my control i wanna just go on a rampage
give me wisdom, give me teeth
give me vision, let me see
give me courage to confess
every night i text my ex
give me girls
give me boys
give me life
give me peace
give me noise
someone give me fucking zen
Someone gimme fucking zen
Gimme fucking zen
I need something to avoid all of my fears and paranoia
Give me, give me
Someone gimme fucking zen
Give me an appetite
Gimme Hope for the afterlife
Or a reason to look past tonight
Gimme happiness when I found the fame
Gimme music that doesn’t all sound the same
Gimme something I can to forward to
Gimme humans I can get closer to
You look down at me but the next thing you know it’s you
With the rent overdue
Gimme a little bit of piece of the peace of mind
Gimme a piece of yours you’ll get a piece of mine
Gimme something to do when there nothing to do
But when I get it shit I’ll probably just fuck it up too
Gimme two steps to the left
Gimme One step to the right
Give me one dance with the volume at ten
And someone anyone give me fucking zen
Someone gimme fucking zen
Gimme fucking zen
I need something to avoid all of my fears and paranoia
Give me, give me
Someone gimme fucking zen
Give me hope for something better
Give me justice for my cries
Tell me we’re all in this together
And if we’re not just give me lies
Give me love give me WiFi
Give me drugs get me sky high
Gimme headspace set my head straight
Cut the dead weight burn the red tape
Give me the good old days from seven days ago
Let me go outside again
Give me life
Give me peace
Give me noise
Someone give me fucking zen
Someone gimme fucking zen
Gimme fucking zen
I need something to avoid all of my fears and paranoia
Give me, give me
Someone gimme fucking zen

This is genuinely one of the best collaborations on a song I've ever heard, grandson, K.Flay, AND X Ambassadors? Christmas came early this year !!

[@neomix57]

Dude I hear ya

[@jamiebrooks457]

When my friend and I FINALLY got together, she played this. At first I was like "wow, weirdly relevant", then I heard "... Space, at least six feet" and I realized that this was written during quarantine. My God, though, I love everything about this song!

[@arizonaiced2147]

4 weeks old but congrats on the relationship :D

[@MrRager-uv9te]

This is crossover is just as ambitious as avengers endgame

[@0dd_ch1ld86]

Well yeah, If you think about it. Grandson sings about "Modern Tragedies" (Grandson fans would understand :wink:), X ambassadors are similar to the likes of Imagine Dragons, and K. Flay talks about more personal problems, but it all connects to make this really good song with a combination of Alt-Rock Collaborators I never knew I wanted !

[@alikhamis3367]

Grandson gets into the worlds problems in a creative way. I love it.

[@Arpel21]

If you think about it, all Marvel characters belong to Disney, so despite being from different franchises, the movie's crossover value wasn't that impressive This song, however, was made by a bunch of independent people, and is much more ambitious as a crossover than a big corpo like Disney could ever hope to achieve.

[@dykevader01]

This captures me, feeling restless, all my fucking life. Captures my generation, captures mental illnesses that overwhlem you... This song just slaps

[@FeignJurai]

Yep, this is the song that 2020 needed most. To tell everyone that they're not alone and this year sucks for everyone, and that gives us all something in common.

[@SteinOnkel]

This one's pretty excellent too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaaTmZyObbKApNk

Truly the song of 2020....as well as being the first time I recall hearing someone "demand" zen rather then them "seeking" zen out..I hope they get further then the ones that merely searched for it.😊

[@Chunky4k]

This song has a great message and I feel that if zen was more prevalent in our society we wouldn’t be suffering from as many problems.

I agree. No really. Alot of issues could be dealt with if everyone had mental health infrastructure. Find zen :)

To answer your question Jordan, I am indeed having a good time, because this song is playing. For over a year now, it's been helping a ton of people get through a tough time. The world really needed this and on behalf of everyone, thank you.

[@miamigo1201]

I'd like to tell to Sam : adults are kids that learned to pretend to be adults. It's okay, go ahead. That's what makes you better everyday. 😎 To Kristine : We are basically so many of us who can't figure it out life basically. I personally can't stand a job, can't stand a place, I'm moving all the time 'cause I'm so confused by people around me.. That doesn't mean happiness is unreachable. I guess life means what it means for you 🤷 To Jordan : While writing this, I've lost everything. Except inspiration from your lyrics. Zen makes me happy. And so Canadians too 😁
