Don't Worry Lyrics
I¹m leaving this town I¹m out of the race
I¹m packing my bags I ain¹t gonna stay
I can¹t stand the pressure building on me
Don¹t try to stop me I¹ve got to break free
Chorus
Take me down to the cool clear water
Don¹t worry about me
Take my time stay a while
Don¹t have to worry about a thing
Don¹t you know
I¹m going down to the cool clear water
Don¹t worry about me
I take my time I¹ll stay a while
Don¹t have to worry about a thing
They tell you the truth but you know it¹s a lie
Big brother is watching the eye in the sky
Just take your freedom and throw it away
Cause sooner or later we¹re all going to pay
Chorus
Guitar solo
They¹re taxing the rain the water we drink
Just do as you¹re told there¹s no time to think
We shouldn¹t forget what we learnt from the past
Stop looking at life through rose coloured glass
Chorus repeat
Guitar solo
I¹m packing my bags I ain¹t gonna stay
I can¹t stand the pressure building on me
Don¹t try to stop me I¹ve got to break free
Take me down to the cool clear water
Don¹t worry about me
Take my time stay a while
Don¹t have to worry about a thing
Don¹t you know
I¹m going down to the cool clear water
Don¹t worry about me
I take my time I¹ll stay a while
Don¹t have to worry about a thing
Big brother is watching the eye in the sky
Just take your freedom and throw it away
Cause sooner or later we¹re all going to pay
Guitar solo
Just do as you¹re told there¹s no time to think
We shouldn¹t forget what we learnt from the past
Stop looking at life through rose coloured glass
