Lyrics

People in the public eye talkin´on the news
Caught up in the power game spittin´out the views
Promising to stand by everything the say
Shortchanging everybody all long the way
Propagating hope spreading it around
Fulfilling nothing in the end letting everybody down
Once upon a time (you say) everything was okay
Life was just a game easy to play
Uncomplicated like a stroll in a park
Looking on the bright side never on the dark
Every reason to believe there was no necessity for doubt
Cause you never understood what the fuss was all about
Talk about the war the right and the wrong
Talk about the trouble forever goin on
political discussion a misery to me
Everybody telling you that no-one can agree
Discuss it all you want; have a point of view
There´s nothing you can change there´s nothing you can do
.......................Why let it bother you
Yeah why let it bother you; there´s nothing you can change
There´s nothing you can do, So why let it bother you?

Review

With a full-tilt rock sound, 'Why Let It Bother You' should have hit the mark for folks wondering what had happened to the Stealers Wheel sound.

To my ears this one of the album's standout performances and had everything you'd look for in a killer 45, including a great groove and a wonderful electric guitar solo.
