Lyrics Don't Let It Get to You - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Don't Let It Get to You

I know it’s alright for me
In my easy chair
I don’t have to go to school
Be bullied while I’m there
Bullying’s a part of life and always will be too
Don’t let it get to you
Don’t let it get to you
Even if what follows
Is a desperate cry for help
Why would someone so young
Feel the need to hang themself
Life is far too precious to be over with so new
Don’t let it get to you
Don’t let it get to you
Setting a good example now
Is order of the day
Gangs go around in streets and towns
Cleaning up on the way
Why I’ll never understand
Are girls more prone to this
They unlike the boys
Are now more active with their fists
Could be that tomorrow they’ll move on to someone new
Don’t let it get to you
Don’t let it get to you
Notice how we love our neighbours
Long as they remain
Happy with a pretty flower bed
Once they plant a row of trees
That grow above the roof
That’s when hatred rears it’s ugly head
Don’t let it get to you
Don’t let it get to you
Anyone who witnesses a mob that’s in control
Must have seen a pig go flying by
What I’ll never understand is meet one on their own
They appear so gentle and so shy
I could take the law
Into my own hand don’t you think
Find the gang give them a taste
Of their own medicine
But for now till we decide what action to pursue
Don’t let it get to you
Don’t let it get to you
Don’t let it get to you
