Don't get down   Don't waste time on things that you can't ever change   I know we all do      Write a song   All your new ones are the best you've ever sung   Write another one      And all you need to do    Is get away from everything   Quit this sad old scene   Come back when you feel the need   We'll all be here for you      Don't get let down   Don't spend time with people you don't even like   I know we all do      Write a song   All your old ones don't mean a thing if you don't sing   Any new ones      And all you need to do    Is get away from everything   Quit this sad old scene   Come back when you feel the need   We'll all be here for you      And find something that will make you feel   Like everyday's too short   We're only here for a little while   You'd better make your mark
