Don't Let It Get To You Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

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 themselves?
Life is far too precious to be over with, so know
Don′t let it get to you
Don't let it get to you

Setting a good example now
It is order of the day
Gangs go around in the 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

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
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


If I could take the law into my own hands, 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
