I picked up the paper this morning   And read all the daily blues   The world is one big tragedy   I wonder what I can do      About all the pain and injustice   About all of the sorrow   We're living in a danger zone   The world could end tomorrow      But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide   But I won't let it bother me tonight      Life on the streets is a jungle   A struggle to keep up the pace   I just can't beat that old dog eat dog   The rats keep winnin' the rat race      But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   The world is in an uproar, and I see no end in sight   But I won't let it bother me tonight (no I'm not)   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide   But I won't let it bother me tonight, not tonight      Lord, Lord, Lord   We got nothing but trouble   I've done all I can do today   So bartender pour me a double right now      But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   The world is in an uproar, and I see no end in sight   But I won't let it bother me tonight (no I'm not)   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   No, I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide   But I will not let it bother me tonight (no I'm not, no I'm not)      I'm not gonna let it bother me   I'm not gonna let it bother me   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   I'm not gonna let it bother me      I'm not gonna let it bother me   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   I'm not gonna let it bother me   I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight   I'm not gonna let it bother me
