Situations often seem so useless
Nagging pain that persists in your head
Dismal memories help you struggle through the daytime
And keep yourself well fed
And the leaders say that things could be so good
If you'd just smile and respect our word
'Cos there is gold at the end of the rainbow
Or haven't you heard
So don't you worry when the going gets heavy
Don't you worry, don't you ever ask why
Because there's a garden near a village called Toytown
where pigs can fly
Put a new tooth underneath your pillow
Will the fairies come and take it away
And there's gold at the top of the mountain
Or so they say
And you wanted to find a far better way out
Than this tired little world in which you found yourself
And you wanted to break free
And you struggle and shout
But you don't know that you're underground yourself
Social customs try to make decisions
Wondering how you're supposed to react
There's a dream that could come true in the morning
As a matter of fact
Running backwards, jumping into the corner
Wondering what the hell you're supposed to do
Throw a stone in a pool of icy water
Make a wish come true
And you wanted to find a far better way out
Than this tired little world in which you found yourself
And you wanted to break free
And you struggle and shout
But you don't know that you're underground yourself
Running backwards, running into the same place
Wondering if you're going to end the race so strong
Just don't ask me, be content in the knowledge that it won't be long
Keep on smiling 'spite of all the conditions
Keep on singing though it all seems grey
'Cos there's gold at the top of the mountain,
Or so they say
There's gold at the top, there's gold at the top,
There's gold at the top,
So they say
Nagging pain that persists in your head
Dismal memories help you struggle through the daytime
And keep yourself well fed
And the leaders say that things could be so good
If you'd just smile and respect our word
'Cos there is gold at the end of the rainbow
Or haven't you heard

Don't you worry, don't you ever ask why
