Nothing's Gonna Bring Me Down

It's a Sunday in the city, everybody's on parade

Marvin Gaye fills the air, bongo players play

A man with a megaphone says, "We are all slaves"

What else is new? I just keep on walking

Roller skating girls twirl one by one

Waves crash on the shoreline, the day's about done

I turn the corner, 'round my eyes to the sun

And I keep on walking

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down

All the knick-knack vendors fold their tent up in the shade

Gangsters stand around, drinking beer and lemonade

Throw away my cigarette, think maybe I'll quit today

And give it a cough, just keep on walking

Love is it turning, as long as it lasts

Good times come and good times pass

A brother stag is into me, eyes like butter glass

And I give him my change, and I keep on walking

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down (I feel so fine)

Nothing's gonna bring me down

Sometimes it gets so ugly all you can do is crack sick jokes

A little sign, not human, battling the shades and soap

Me? I'm pretty sick of that, about faith, even hope

It's time to tease to tease the dogs a bit

It's time to pull the rope and just keep on walking

Keep on walking

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down (Nothing's gonna bring me down)

Nothing's gonna bring me down (I feel so fine)

Nothing's gonna bring me down

I just keep on walking

I just keep on walking
