Troubled World

Don’t wan’ you to worry,
dis world’s goin’ bad.
Could tell you some things dat would make
you feel sad.
I’ll put all dis news to one side
for the day,
and we’ll talk bout appiness, laughter,
and joy.

Don’t wanna say
bout dis dangerous place,
or wipe dat sweet smile
from your sweet angel face.
So much is happenin’ -
don’ understand -
and when I’m gone,
you’ll sure be a fine man.

What’s dat you sayin’
dat your friend’s tellin you?
Don’t cry, don’t worry,
and don’t you be blue.
I wanna be honest
an’ say what I know
but it ain’t gonna end in
some nuclear snow.

Hey, now, stop cryin’
and cast way fear,
dey’re people who’re dyin’
but your friends are near.
The fight’s over there, Lo’,
it’s so far away.
So what if dey’re crazy -
don’t matter today!


Please don’t be troubled,
and pay them no min',
nobody’s gonna -
we’ll stop em, in time.
An’ why do you worry, I know it’s a shame,
but we ain’t gonna die
in some nuclear game.
