Don’t fret young man, it’s not the end
Just an excuse to start again
Life flows on and so will you
Even if less well to-do
It’s only safety, it’s just a home
It’s only food, it’s just your bones
It’s only fun, it’s just health
Never you mind, it’s only wealth
You open your mouth, as if to say
“it’s not fair, don’t make me pay!”
But worry not, you silly child
For you will see, in but a while
It’s just a car, it’s only a game
You can cry, but all the same
It’s only jewels, it’s only clothes
It’s just the heat on frozen toes
It’s just sugar, it’s just salt
Don’t blame the world, it’s just your fault
It’s only bread, it’s only honey
Don’t fret young man, it’s only money
Just hang tight while it trickles down
Don’t complain, don’t make a sound
You've learned to read, it’s plain to see
You’ve gotten far but still aren’t free
It’s just shame, it’s just strife
It’s just love and it’s just life
It’s only lust, it’s only sin
First you were but now you’ve been
You shut your eyes but always see
The face of insecurity
And though the world keeps turning on,
What once was here now seems gone
It’s just a tale, it’s only a story
It’s just that feelin' of midnight glory
It’s just because, it’s only inside
It’s what the Dude could never abide
It’s just sugar, it’s just salt
Don’t blame each other it’s no one’s fault
It’s only bread, it’s only honey
Don’t fret young man, it’s only money
