Graham Parker - Don't Let It Break You Down lyrics

pre>intro: d g (4 times) D g d g Now don't get bent out of shape, don't start tearing out your hair D g d g One a sweet little angel, that stuff's nowhere D g d g When the bombs go off on oxford street and the kids beat up old people D g d g It's just a soundtrack for your life it's just everyday evil Chorus Dm bb dm bb Don't let it break you down don't let it break you down Dm bb d g d g Don't let it break you down Some people are in charge of pens that shouldn't be in charge of brooms They have the nerve to rip up a man's life in a paragraph or two And the aeroplanes get hijacked and all the americans get k**ed And the children are addicted to a sugar-coated pill Chorus then e g d (three times) Well you get sent out on the racetrack, you get spurs dug in your cheeks You'll see a winning post in the distance that you'll never reach And there's a hole in the atmosphere gets bigger every time you spray your hair And someone's drilling down through the earth just to see what's there Chorus twice, then instrumental section with Grunts and soft guitar and then ends on d /pre>
