Bad days come and bad days go   Then everything's just fine   And life may be a tragedy   But I ain't gonna let it bother me   'Cause I'd be wasting time      I take it for granted and smile   That way I won't let it burn me down      Everybody knows somebody else who knows it all   And even if you act concerned   Well, they're never gonna let you have your turn   You'd might as well talk to a wall      That's when I step to the side   And laugh while they're trying to burn me down      Sometimes it's better to walk away   Sometimes you wanna turn to them and say      Jerks may come and jerks may go   Then everything's just fine   And what they know and what they see   Don't really mean that much to me   I just don't have the time      I made some mistakes in my life   And I took an emotional dive   But I'm through hanging out with the clowns   I won't turn away   No, I won't let 'em burn me down
