The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now don't get bent out of shape, don't start tearing out your hair
One a sweet little angel, that stuff's nowhere
When the bombs go off on oxford street and the kids beat up old people
It's just a soundtrack for your life it's just everyday evil
Chorus
Don't let it break you down don't let it break you down
Don't let it break you down
Some people are in charge of pens that shouldn't be in charge of brooms
They have the nerve to rip up a man's life in a paragraph or two
And the aeroplanes get hijacked and all the americans get killed
And the children are addicted to a sugar-coated pill
Well you get sent out on the racetrack, you get spurs dug in your cheeks
You'll see a winning post in the distance that you'll never reach
And there's a hole in the atmosphere gets bigger every time you spray your hair
And someone's drilling down through the earth just to see what's there
