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.
I know it's hard to see
Why things ain't goin' your way, baby
And everyone you know
Seems to get the breaks you don't
And the words to the songs that you sing
Ain't the right ones, baby, no
And the grass is the wrong shade of green
Or so it seems, yeah
Don't break it up
Don't shake it up
Just turn it on, got to keep it turned on
Don't burn it out
Don't sell it out
Just turn it on, got to keep it turned on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Got to understand
Life is what you make it, baby
No time to sit around
Think of the mistakes you made
Well, it's not what you had
It's what you have right here, baby
And it's not who you know
It's what you know deep down inside, yeah
Don't break it up
Don't shake it up
Just turn it on, got to keep it turned on
Don't burn it out
Don't sell it out
Just turn it on, got to keep it turned on
Don't break it up
Don't shake it up
Just turn it on, got to keep it turned on
Don't burn it out
Don't sell it out
Just turn it on, got to keep it turned on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on
Don't break it up
Don't break it up
Don't shake it up
Just turn it on, got to keep it turned on
Don't burn it out
Don't sell it out
Just turn it on, got to keep it turned on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
