“I’m Not Bothered” (A Happy Little Ditty)

They shout and they whisper, they claw and they bite,
They throw their shade in the dead of night.
But I’ve got love, and my world’s alright—
So I just smile and sleep tight!

'Cause I'm not bothered, not one bit,
They can scream and stew and throw a fit.
I've got joy that they can’t fake,
A life that no hate can shake!

My lady loves me, my kids shine bright,
My mates back me with hearts so right.
Family strong, and laughter loud—
I'm walking tall, not cowed!

Yeah, I'm not bothered, can't you see?
Happiness lives inside of me.
Let ‘em plot, let ‘em try,
I’ve got sunshine, they’ve got lies.
