I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight

I picked up the paper this morning

And read all the daily blues

The world is one big tragedy

I wonder what I can do

About all the pain and injustice

About all of the sorrow

We're living in a danger zone

The world could end tomorrow

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide

But I won't let it bother me tonight

Life on the street is a jungle

A struggle to keep up the pace

I just can't beat that old dog eat dog

The rats keep winnin the rat race

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight

But I won't let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide

But I won't let it bother me tonight

Lord, Lord, Lord

We got nothing but trouble

I've done all I can do today

So bartender pour me a double, right now

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

The world is in an uproar and I see no end in sight

But I won't let it bother me tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

No I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight

Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide

But I will not let it bother me tonight
