I Know Sometimes a Man Is Wrong / Don’t Worry About the Government (Live)
[Part I: I Know Sometimes a Man Is Wrong]
[Verse 1]
I know sometimes a man is wrong
I know sometimes I do believe
I know sometimes a man is wrong
I'll be wrong until you're next to me
I know sometimes the world is wrong
I know sometimes I do believe
I know sometimes the world is wrong
They'll be wrong until you're next to me
They'll be wrong until you're next to me
[Part II: Don't Worry About the Government]
[Verse 2]
I see the clouds that move across the sky
I see the wind that moves the clouds away
It moves the clouds ovеr by the building
I pick the building that I want to live in
[Verse 3]
I smеll the pine trees and the peaches in the woods
I smell the pinecones that fall by the highway
That's the highway that goes to the building
That's the building that I want to live in
[Chorus]
It's over there, it's over there
My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax along with my loved ones
Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you worry 'bout me
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
[Verse 4]
I see the states across this big nation
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C
I think of the ones I consider my favorites
I think of the people that are working for me
[Verse 5]
Some civil servants are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building
They own the buildings to help them along
[Chorus]
It's over there, it's over there
My building has every convenience
It's gonna make life easy for me
It's gonna be easy to get things done
I will relax along with my loved ones
Loved ones, loved ones visit the building
Take the highway, park and come up and see me
I'll be working, working but if you come visit
I'll put down what I'm doing, my friends are important
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you worry 'bout me
I wouldn't worry about me
Don't you worry 'bout me
Don't you worry 'bout me
