Overseas and Elsewhere (Reg Mombassa) - A condemnation of worrying abut the small things when there are actually quite big things you could conceivably worry about.

Lyrics

Overseas and Elsewhere
Reg Mombassa
When I hear the wind is whistling In the trees outside  All the birds are busy singing Happy to be alive
Well it makes you wonder why you worry
About every little thing  When you feel the winter sun  Is smiling down on you
Nothing could be nagging  At this sunny afternoon  Well it makes you wonder why you worry

About every little thing  It makes you wanna say you’re sorry  I won’t do that again  When you read some history  It never sounds too good  Centuries of misery  Every page is soaked in blood  Overseas and elsewhere  There’s trouble on the rise  The sun may not be shining  On someone else’s life today  When your friends get sick and die  You’ll know that death is real  When your train comes down the line
You’ll know that death is real  Well it makes you wonder why you worry
About every little thing  It makes you wanna say you’re sorry  I won’t do that again
Overseas and elsewhere  There’s trouble on the rise  The sun may not be shining
