Keep calm and don’t react

Love thy enemy and all that
And my friends all say
That karma’s gon’ get me back
And I shouldn’t hold a grudge
But I wanna
I really, really wanna
Hmmmm, yeah, I’m gonna
‘Cause I really, really wanna”

Meaning: The chorus reflects conflicting advice the speaker has received. Their therapist advises staying calm and not reacting, the Bible teaches to love one’s enemy, and friends say that karma will catch up with them, so they shouldn’t hold a grudge.
