'Don't let this world get you down'
Time seems to slip way.
Every second of everyday.
Life takes you through, all sorts of turns
But you better watch out, before you get burned.
Funny things happen,
When you live in a world like this
Because if you don’t watch yourself, you’ll get fucked & not kissed.
So baby, don’t let this world get you down,
In time it will change, some way, some how.
All it takes is for someone to come around.
So baby, don’t let this world get you down.
You’ll take a short trip down memory lane.
And people will tell you, that you’re the blame
Don’t let it bother you; it’s not all that bad
Because this world that we live in is so damn sad.
So baby, don’t let this world get you down,
In time it will change, some way, some how.
Something happens with each breath I take.
It coils up inside me like a poisonous snake
Ready to strike, and bite you till you bleed.
Yet you are never really ready when it decides to feed.
Please, don’t let this world get you down,
It’s bound to change, some way, some how.
It will take a few tricks but it will come around.
So baby, don’t let this world get you down
You’re a Victim of the world now,
Kind of crazy don’t you think.
Maybe that’s how it happened?
Now I live life by the drink.
Shot by shot,
I let my feelings ride.
But the pain that I feel,
Never seems to subside.
So baby, don’t let this world get you down,
In time it will change, some way, some how.
All it takes is for you to come around.
Live life by the second, and don’t let it get you down.
