though some things in life are hard to bear don t let it bring you down should the sand of time run out on you don t let it bring you down don t go down don t go underground things seem strange but they change how they change up and down your carousel will go so don t let it bring you down don t go down don t get out of town get to know how it goes how it goes when the price you have to pay is high don t let it bring you down ooh don t let it bring you down
