Things seem to get less tense   Things seem to make more sense   The stuff that bothers me well it’s still there   But suddenly I don’t really seem to care   And people don’t seem to be all that bad   Situations don’t get me quite so mad   And I know that absolutely nothing has changed but suddenly it feels like everything’s been rearranged      And even though it’s hot outside   Even though it’s hot outside   Even though it’s hot outside   I’m going to chill out and keep my cool in late august      Pride and ego start winding down   Hate and mistrust are buried underground   And I’m not so hard-pressed to be everybody’s friend   Cause I know that everything will work out in the end   And times getting more valuable everyday   And it all seems way too important not to say   And everything will be so different in a year   As the world keeps turning and our lives are just a gift      Cause even though it’s hot outside   Even though it’s hot outside   Even though it’s hot outside   I’m going to chill out and keep my cool in late august      Back to school sales and reruns on TV   Temporary loss of long-term memory   Downtown traffic and the technicalities   And I feel too good to let it all get to me      Cause even though it’s hot outside   Even though it’s hot outside   Even though it’s hot outside   I’m going to chill out and keep my cool in late august      Cause even though it’s hot outside   Even though it’s hot outside   Even though it’s hot outside   I’m going to chill out and keep my cool in late august
