don't come 'round here looking for my sympathy
don't come 'round here looking for my prayers
you spent the eighties in a trance

yeah you led us all on a merry dance
now it's sad to say that I don't care


you were always advocating power games
you were always gonna be a star
you made your money, had your fun

made a video 'bout how it's done
ain't put it in my vcr
so far

dreams fall into disrepair
there's a change in the air
your lies

will lead you to despair

don't bother me

(castles in the sand slip through your hand)
don't bother me - I don't give a damn
don't bother me

(try to understand it's in your hand)
don't bother me


well no amount of liquor, babe, can drown the blues today
no amount of pills can ease the pain
when the body electric and the vision thing

is all it takes to make the people sing
let's hope we don't get fooled again
my friend

dreams fall into disrepair
there's a change in the air
there's a girl who says she cares

and her love
will leave you standing there


don't bother me
(I can't change your mind when you're so blind)
don't bother me - I can't spare the time

don't bother me
(takes an ocean wide to turn tide)
don't bother me - love can't be denied

don't bother me
(castles in the sand slip through your hand)
don't bother me - I don't give a damn

don't bother me
