Mark Heard Nothing Is Bothering Me
No news is good news but news is here to stay
Tightening the thumb-screws from day to day
I hear the tale of a distant fray
War is hell but it's half-a-world away
I'm alright
Nothing is bothering me
I'm just trying to keep the weight of this world
From dawning on me
We get the picture from week to week
The rich get richer and inherit the meek
Long since started preying on the weak
Am I the guilty party if I turn the other cheek
I'm alright
Nothing is bothering me
I'm just trying to keep the weight of this world
From dawning on me
Hey now emotion-is that you again
Don'tcha know that warmth and devotion have passed as a trend
Jesus is knocking but don't let him in
He might come like a thief and steal away your sin
I'm alright
Nothing is bothering me
I'm just trying to keep the weight
Of this world from dawning on me
