Worry Too Much |
It’s the demolition derby |
It’s the sport of the hunt |
Proud tribe in full war-dance |
It’s the slow smile that the bully gives the runt |
It’s the force of inertia |
It’s the lack of constraint |
It’s the children out playing in the rock garden |
All dolled-up in black hats and war paint |
Sometimes it feels like bars of steel |
I cannot bend with my hands |
Oh-oh — I worry too much |
Somebody told me that I worry too much |
Oh-oh — I worry too much |
Somebody told me that I worry too much |
It’s these sandpaper eyes |
It’s the way they rub the lustre from what is seen |
It’s the way we tell ourselves that all these things are normal |
Till we can’t remember what we mean |
It’s the flicker of our flames |
It’s the friction born of living |
It’s the way we beat a hot retreat |
And heave our smoking guns into the river |
Sometimes it feels like bars of steel |
I cannot bend with my hands |
Oh-oh — I worry too much |
Somebody told me that I worry too much |
Oh-oh — I worry too much |
Somebody told me that I worry too much |
It’s the quick-step march of history |
The vanity of nations |
It’s the way there’ll be no muffled drums |
To mark the passage of my generation |
It’s the children of my children |
It’s the lambs born in innocence |
It’s wondering if the good I know |
Will last to be seen by the eyes of the little ones |
Sometimes it feels like bars of steel |
I cannot bend with my hands |
Oh-oh — I worry too much |
Somebody told me that I worry too much |
Oh-oh — I worry too much |
Somebody told me that I worry too much |
