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




Well, 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, no night




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, not 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




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, no night




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, no night, no night




I'm not gonna let it bother me


I'm not gonna let it bother me

I'm not gonna let it bother me, tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me, tonight


I'm not gonna let it bother me



I'm not gonna let it bother me


I'm not gonna let it bother me, tonight

I'm not gonna let it bother me, oh

I'm not gonna let it bother me, tonight


I'm not gonna let it bother me
