Yesterday I went downtown and saw an old-time picture show
|
And the hero got a pie in the face
|
He didn’t like that and he stormed around the screen
|
But everybody else was laughin' in that place
|
That’s cause it ain’t hard to get along with somebody else’s troubles
|
And they don’t make you lose any sleep at night
|
Just as long as fate is out there bustin' somebody else’s bubbles
|
Everything’s gonna be alright
|
And everything’s gonna be alright
|
Tell me, did you ever have to pay for something that you didn’t do?
|
And did you ever figure out the reason why?
|
And when the doctor says this is gonna hurt me a lot more than this hurts you
|
Did you ever figure out that that’s a lie?
|
He knows it ain’t too hard to get along with somebody else’s troubles
|
And they don’t make you lose any sleep at night
|
Just as long as fate is out there bustin' somebody else’s bubbles
|
Everything is gonna be alright
|
And everything will be alright
|
And I saw the boss come a-walkin' down along that factory line
|
He said, «We all have to tighten up our belts.»
|
But he didn’t look any thinner than he did a year ago
|
And I wonder just how hungry that man felt
|
But he knows it ain’t too hard to get along with somebody else’s troubles
|
And they don’t make you lose any sleep at night
|
Just as long as fate is out there bustin' somebody' else’s bubbles
|
Everything is gonna be alright
|
And everything is gonna be alright
|
And I asked that undertaker what it took to make him laugh
|
When all he ever saw is people cryin'
|
First he hands me a bunch of flowers that he’d received on my behalf
|
Said, «Steve, business just gets better all the time.»
|
And it ain’t too hard to get along with somebody else’s troubles
|
And they don’t make you lose any sleep at night
|
Just as long as fate is out there bustin' somebody else’s bubbles
|
Everything is gonna be alright
|
And everything is gonna be alright |
