Lyric Don t let it break you down
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 killed
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
