Don't come 'round here looking for my sympathy

Don't come 'round here looking for my prayers

You spent the eighties in a trance

Yeah you led us all on a merry dance

Now it's sad to say that I don't care

You were always advocating power games

You were always gonna be a star

You made your money, had your fun

Made a video 'bout how it's done

Ain't put it in my vcr

So far

Dreams fall into disrepair

There's a change in the air

Your lies

Will lead you to despair

Don't bother me

(Castles in the sand slip through your hand)

Don't bother me - I don't give a damn

Don't bother me

(Try to understand it's in your hand)

Don't bother me

Well no amount of liquor, babe, can drown the blues today

No amount of pills can ease the pain

When the body electric and the vision thing

Is all it takes to make the people sing

Let's hope we don't get fooled again

My friend

Dreams fall into disrepair

There's a change in the air

There's a girl who says she cares

And her love

Will leave you standing there

Don't bother me

(I can't change your mind when you're so blind)

Don't bother me - I can't spare the time

Don't bother me

(Takes an ocean wide to turn tide)

Don't bother me - love can't be denied

Don't bother me

(Castles in the sand slip through your hand)

Don't bother me - I don't give a damn

Don't bother me
