Somebody Elses Troubles

[Intro]                                        [Verse 1] Yesterday I went downtown and saw an old-time picture show And the hero got a pie in the face He didn’t like that and he stormed around the screen But everybody else was laughin’ in that place [Chorus] That’s cause it ain’t hard to get along with somebody else’s troubles And they don’t make you lose any sleep at night Just as long as fate is out there bustin’ somebody else’s bubbles Everything’s gonna be alright And everything’s gonna be alright [Verse 2] Tell me did you ever have to pay for something that you didn’t do? And did you ever figure out the reason why? And when the doctor says this is gonna hurt me a lot more than this hurts you Did you ever figure out that that’s a lie? [Chorus] He knows it ain’t too hard to get along with somebody else’s troubles And they don’t make you lose any sleep at night Just as long as fate is out there bustin’ somebody else’s bubbles Everything is gonna be alright And everything will be alright [Instrumental]                                       [Verse 3] And I saw the boss come a-walkin’ down along that factory line He said "We all have to tighten up our belts." But he didn’t look any thinner than he did a year ago And I wonder just how hungry that man felt [Chorus] But he knows it ain’t too hard to get along with somebody else’s troubles And they don’t make you lose any sleep at night Just as long as fate is out there bustin’ somebody’ else’s bubbles Everything is gonna be alright And everything is gonna be alright [Verse 4] And I asked that undertaker what it took to make him laugh When all he ever saw is people cryin’ First he hands me a bunch of flowers that he’d received on my behalf Said "Steve business just gets better all the time." [Outro] And it ain’t too hard to get along with somebody else’s troubles And they don’t make you lose any sleep at night Just as long as fate is out there bustin’ somebody else’s bubbles Everything is gonna be alright And everything is gonna be alright
