Lyrics

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
