How long shall you carry that burdain on your shoulders
How long shall those tears keep running down your beautiful face?
We all have troubles now and again, know what I’m saying
No matter how hard you try trouble will find us one way or another
People had troubles since the pope was an altharboy
People had worries from when the dead sea was only critical
Hear those drums rolling and listen to those guitar skanking
[Chorus:]
Put a smile on your face don’t let the troubles get you down… shoop shoop doooo
Put a smile on your face don’t let the troubles get you down…
Let me tell you how we feel… we feel irie… irie we feel irie… irie… we feel irie… irie
We feel so irie… irie
Do you feel like we do? (tell me) do you feel like we do? (I say) do you feel like we do?
No man can hide from his fears since they are part of him, they always know where to find him
Come on walk tall and keep your head high. I tell you again and again…
[Chorus]
