lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Some people call you up to sell you the future
Some people nag at you to see the bigger picture
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down

Some people like to talk about their perfect wives and perfect jobs
Some people like to show they can do the perfect downward dog
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down

I saw a sticker on a bumper just the other day
Before you change your life, you gotta change your ways
But I have no inclination of living up to expectations
I just sit back, I just relax
I'm just happy to say

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down

Some people can't sit still, they're always trying something new
Some people won't let you speak of other points of view
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down

Some people get caught up with the finger pointing to the moon
Some people act like there's no elephant in the room
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down

I saw a zeolot round the corner and she said to me
"It's your identity that's oppressing me"
But I have no inclination of being part of her revolution
Can we sit back? Can we relax?
There has got to be a better way

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooooooo
Don't let them get you down
Don't let them get you down
