Lyrics It Don't Bother Me - Bert Jansch

It Don't Bother Me

To be exposed
In all my strife
You gaze upon
My troubled life
But it don’t bother me
What you see
No, oh no
It just don’t bother me
You take my name
And hang it high
You paint my picture
With colored lies
But it don’t bother me
What you do
No, oh no
It just don’t bother me
You twist my words
Like plaited reeds
To mark your gain
And help your needs
But it don’t bother me
What you say
No, oh no
It just don’t bother me
What truth is told
Of who I am
Shall break the silence
Of waters calm
But it don’t bother me
Who I am
No, oh no
It just don’t bother me
But if was
A beggar boy
I’d sing of riches
I could enjoy
But it, it don’t bother me
What they are
No, oh no
It just don’t bother me
I’m a thinkin' now
I would rather hide
Or turn my back
And stand aside
But it, it don’t bother me
What I do
No, oh no
It just don’t bother me
