    2002. Topeka Kansas. Went to visit my older brother there and found this song on his computer. Immediately burned it and a bunch of other 90’s songs to CD and wore that darn thing out for the rest of the trip out there :D. Good times.

      Chill out, yo. I know plenty of people appreciate them. My statement was addressing the fact that there are a lot of people who are too shallow to appreciate their music. I was complementing them, you know.

    Simmer down, he's gonna get dropped so
    Simmer down, man, here's what I say
    Simmer down, now I've got to got to simmer down
    A long time ago we used to be friends
    Picked my bones in my pockets that's where it ends so
    Simmer down, control my temper
    Simmer down, the battle will be hotter
    Simmer down, o.k. here's what I say

    Simmer down, it's got to be this way
    Where's the love, where is the loyalty?
    We did our part now where is the love?
    Simmer down, control my temper
    Simmer down, the battle will be hotter
    Simmer down, it's hard cause it hurts so
    Simmer down, kick me off
    Simmer down, but the pain still exists
    Simmer down, and hey I'm sure he'll be missed
    Simmer down, it'll make us stronger
    Simmer down, and we'll live a lot longer so
    Simmer down, what goes around
    Simmer down, will come around
    Simmer down, I know I've got to simmer down

    Some useless info: the reason Angelo and Norwood from Fishbone appear in this video is 'cuz the 'bone and the 'tones were on the road together at the time. Now that would've been a HELL of a concert! EDIT: After reading all of these comments, I've got one word: JEALOUS!

    I loved music in the 90's bands with actual talent getting noticed and getting signed. Now bands with no talent are getting money when they dont even diserve it, the reason why they sign those bands is becuase its part of the time they will drop them when they arnt hip anymore it shows if ur talented people wont care Long live ska
