Let It Go

You don't like what they say
Or the way that they play
A decision needs to be made
Don't let it ruin your day

There is one thing that I know 
A mechanism in which to cope
Take the short end of the rope
Let it go

Because it's not just you but them
That seems to have the problem
With the handling of the angry stick
They keep beating you with

Before you lose all hope
Seeds need to be sown
And then to help them grow
Let it go

Take it from me
Time and again I have seen
The worst in these 
Played out in history

They'll tie you up with guilty rope
Feed you all their worthless dope
But now that you know
Let it go
