Don't Try So Hard

If you're searchin' out for somethin'

Don't try so hard

If you're feelin' kind of nothin'

Don't try so hard

When your problems seem like mountains

Feel the need to find some answers

You can leave it for another day

Don't try so hard

But if you fall and take a tumble

It won't be far

If you fail, you mustn't grumble

Thank your lucky stars

Just savor every mouthful

And treasure every moment

When the storms are ragin' round you

Stay right where you are

Oh, don't try so hard

Oh, don't take it all to heart

It's only fools, they make these rules

Don't try so hard

One day you'll be a sergeant major

Oh, you'll be so proud

Screamin' out your bloody orders

Hey, but not too loud

Polish all your shiny buttons

Dress as lamb instead of mutton

But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd

Oh, what a beautiful world

This is the life for me

Oh, what a beautiful world

It's the simple life for me

Oh, don't try so hard

Oh, don't take it all to heart

It's only fools, they make these rules

Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard
