Let it Go

by Rob Roper © 2006

Out at a nightclub, to see my favorite band
When some fool stumbles by, knocks the beer out of my hand
(mumble: son-of-a-bitch didn't even apologize)
Pretty little rich boy, thinks he owns the place
He ain't gonna look so pretty, after I rearrange his face
But it don't matter
I hear my buddy say
He ain't worth the trouble, man
It ain't worth the pain, so
Let it go (4x)

Driving down the freeway, just trying to get to work
Reaching for the radio, when I'm cut off by some jerk
(mumble: Lexus SUV, American flag in the window)
Good thing I don't have a pistol, cuz I'd be doin' time
But I'm tired of all these assholes, tryin' to cut in line
But it don't matter
I hear a voice say
He ain't worth the trouble, man
It ain't worth the pain, so
Let it go (2x)

It's these everyday aggravations
that eat away at your soul
The human race ain't perfect
As everybody knows
If you focus on the thorns
You won't ever see the rose
So let it go.

Now I don't mean to say, don't ever stand up for your rights
But you gotta pick and choose your battles, and some ain't worth the fight
(talk: You know what I'm saying)
You see a lot of ugly, but there's beauty out there, too
It's just wasted energy, getting angry at a fool
Cause it don't matter
is what I'm tryin' to say
They ain't worth the trouble, man
It ain't worth the pain
Let it go (2x)

It's these everyday aggravations
that eat away at your soul
The human race ain't perfect
As everybody knows
If you focus on the thorns
You won't ever see the rose
So let it go.

Let it go (4x)
