Lyrics:

I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight
by the Atlanta Rhythm Section

I picked up the paper this morning, and read all the daily blues.
The world is one big tragedy, I wonder what I can do...
About all the pain and injustice, about all of the sorrow,
We're living in a danger zone, the world could end tomorrow.

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide,
But I won't let it bother me tonight.

Life on the streets is a jungle, a struggle to keep up the pace.
I just can't beat that old dog-eat-dog, the raft keep winning the rat race.

But I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.

The world is an uproar and I can see no end in sight,
But I will not let it bother me tonight.
Lord, Lord, Lord, we got nothin' but trouble.
I've done all I can do today, so bartender pour me a double right now.

I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.
I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight.
Tomorrow I might go as far as suicide,
But I won't let it bother me tonight.
