If you're searching hard for something, don't try so hard. If you're feeling kind of nothing, don't try so hard. When your problems seem like mountains, feel the need to find some answers. You can leave it for another day, don't try so hard. But if you fall and take a tumble, it won't be far. If you fail, you mustn't grumble, thank your lucky stars. Just savour every mouthful and treasure every moment. When the storm's raging round you, stay right where you are. Oh, don't try so hard. Oh, don't take it all too hard. It's only fools, they make these rules. Don't try so hard. One day you'll be a sergeant major, oh, you'll be so proud. Screaming out your bloody honours, hey, but not too loud. Polish all your shiny buckles, dress as lamb instead of muffin. But you never had to try to stand out from the crowd. Oh, what a beautiful world. This is the life for me. Oh, what a beautiful world. This is the life for me. Oh, don't try so hard. Oh, don't take it all too hard. It's only fools, they make these rules. Don't try so hard. Don't try so hard. Don't try so hard.
