Don't Let It Get to You - Gilbert O'Sullivan

I know it’s alright for me

In my easy chair

I don’t have to go to school

Be bullied while I’m there

Bullying’s a part of life and always will be too

Don’t let it get to you

Don’t let it get to you

Even if what follows

Is a desperate cry for help

Why would someone so young

Feel the need to hang themself

Life is far too precious to be over with so new

Don’t let it get to you

Don’t let it get to you

Setting a good example now

Is order of the day

Gangs go around in streets and towns

Cleaning up on the way

Why I’ll never understand

Are girls more prone to this

They unlike the boys

Are now more active with their fists

Could be that tomorrow they’ll move on to someone new

Don’t let it get to you

Don’t let it get to you

Notice how we love our neighbours

Long as they remain

Happy with a pretty flower bed

Once they plant a row of trees

That grow above the roof

That’s when hatred rears it’s ugly head

Don’t let it get to you

Don’t let it get to you

Anyone who witnesses a mob that’s in control

Must have seen a pig go flying by

What I’ll never understand is meet one on their own

They appear so gentle and so shy

I could take the law

Into my own hand don’t you think

Find the gang give them a taste

Of their own medicine

But for now till we decide what action to pursue

Don’t let it get to you

Don’t let it get to you

Don’t let it get to you
