[Verse 1]
Say how you feel, don't be afraid to be real
Walking around with all them hammy-down politics
I think I'd just leave them alone if you do

[Refrain]
I need a little bit
They need a lot

[Verse 2]
And oh let me guess what they say in the press
"Was it the Nazis or the Peter Pan communists?"
I don't think they know what they say anyway

[Refrain]
I need a little bit
They need a lot

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're damned if you do
You'll be damned if you don't

[Chorus]
I'll sail away
These things don't bother me these days
If you got troubles, kid, that's fine
You just need time to keep on beating down the line
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
[Verse 3]
Here in the middle, I can play on my fiddle
Drowning away all of these looney toon diplomats
I think I'll just leave it at that and at this:

[Refrain]
I need a little bit
They need a lot

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're damned if you do
You'll be damned if you don't

[Chorus]
I'll sail away
These things don't bother me these days
If you got troubles, kid, that's fine
You just need time to keep on beating down the line
You'll be okay
You'll be okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Damned if you do
You'll be damned if you don't

[Chorus]
I'll sail away
These things don't bother me these days
If you got troubles, kid, that's fine
You just need time to keep on beating down the line
You'll be okay
You'll be okay
[Outro]
I'll sail away
These things don't bother me these days
If you got troubles, kid, that's fine
You just need time to keep on beating down the line
You'll be okay
