Words and music by queen



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



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



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

Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard
