[Verse 1]
Walking down the street
Paranoia’s got hold of both of my feet
I can’t remember last weekend
It’s only fair to tell you my friend
This war is shaping up the same way
I can’t even remember yesterday, but

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I’m not Jesus, I’m definitely not Barrack
Could you please prise the leeches from my back?
And I’m never gonna save the world, but
I might try and take it over
Grab a drink, find a girl
It doesn’t matter if she’s older

[Chorus]
Forget the weight of the world
You don’t need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don’t need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don’t need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world

[Verse 2]
Well I haven’t caught the fear
Cos it’s not Tuesday yet my dear
And when the blues roll by I’ll tell 'em to jog on
Some fall in to quick sand
I’m not like that do you understand
Well I’m just being me
Well I’m just being me
[Chorus]
Forget the weight of the world
You don’t need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don’t need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
You don’t need it on your shoulders
Forget the weight of the world

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I’m not Jesus, I’m definitely not Barrack
Could you please prise the leeches from my back?
I’m never gonna save the world, but
I might try and take it over
Grab a drink, find a girl
It doesn’t matter if she’s older

But we have to
Forget the weight of the world
We don’t need that on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
We don’t need that on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
We don’t need it on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
We don’t need it on our shoulders
Forget the weight of the world
Forget the weight of the world
Forget the weight of the world
Forget the weight of the world
