Don't try so hard
If you're searching out for something -
If you're feeling kinda nothing -
When your problems seem like mountains
You feel the need to find some answers
You can leave them for another day
But if you fall and take a tumble -
If you fail you mustn't grumble
Just savour every mouthful
And treasure every moment
When the storms are raging round you
Oooh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools they make these rules
One day you'll be a sergeant major
Screaming out your bloody orders
Polish all your shiny buttons
Dressed as lamb instead of mutton
To stand out from the crowd
Oh what a beautiful world
Oh what a beautiful world
It's the simple life for me
Oh don't take it all to heart
It's only fools - they make these rules
