If you're searching out for something
  Don't try so hard
  If you're feeling kinda nothing
  Don't try so hard
  When your problems seem like mountains
  You 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 storms are raging round you
  Stay right where you are
    Chorus:
    Oh don't try so hard
  Oh don't take it all to heart
  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 orders
  Hey but not too loud
  Polish all your shiny buttons
  Dress as lamb instead of mutton
  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
  It's the simple life for me
    Repeat chorus
    Don't try so hard
  Don't try so hard
