Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say turn the bright lights on
And there you'll find the truth
Here, open up this book
And now you'll find the proof
Well, it feels like a can of worms
Keep the lid on tight, and they say
[Verse 2]
Don't let it get too bright
Don't let it get too bright
Don't let it get too bright
No
[Verse 3]
They tell me it takes sorrow, boy
To help you feel the joy
They say it takes poverty
To let you love a toy
No, you can't have the good
Until you've shared the bad, and they say
[Verse 4]
Don't let it get too sad
Don't let it get too sad
Don't let it get too sad
No, not this time, time
[Verse 5]
Ooh, they say it takes hardship, boy
To let you love the rest
Sometimes, underneath the load
Is where I show my best
Go, put your work clothes on
Go and leave your mark, and they say
[Verse 6]
Don't let it get too dark
Don't let it get too dark
Don't let it get too dark
No, not this time
