No Concern of Yours
Life's Lessons: Navigating Troubles and Family Bonds
Lyrics
Well it's no concern of yours my friend it's no concern of yours
It's not your business, my friend; it's not your concern.
The nail that's sticking up will just get hammered to the board
If you stand out, you'll face consequences; conformity is safer.
And it's no concern of yours my friend it's no concern of yours
Reiteration that the matter is not your concern.
It's hard to hold your head up when it's in your hands
Feeling defeated or burdened; holding one's head up is challenging.
To wash off last night's trouble in a clean white shirt
Struggling to cleanse oneself from the troubles of the previous night.
If anyone can do it I can
Expressing confidence in overcoming challenges.
And it's no concern of yours my friend it's no concern of yours
Repeated emphasis that the matter is not your concern.
The finest looking apple can be rotten to the core
Outward appearances can be deceiving; even the best-looking things may be flawed.
And it's no concern of yours my friend it's no concern of yours
Reiteration that the matter is not your concern.
We're not here to talk about me
Shifting the focus away from oneself; avoiding self-centered discussions.
We're here to get things done
Emphasizing the purpose of being here—to accomplish tasks.
'Cause if we do my daddy won't have ruined both his sons
Working towards preventing damage to the family by getting things done.
He's going down
Referring to someone (possibly the father) facing consequences or a downfall.
It's no concern of yours my friend it's no concern of yours
Repeated emphasis that the matter is not your concern.
A word can break as easy as it's spoken snarled or sworn
Words can be fragile and easily damaged; be cautious with speech.
And it's no concern of yours my friend it's no concern of yours
Reiteration that the matter is not your concern.
When your name is on this building take me out for lunch
Suggesting a casual meeting after achieving a significant milestone.
After three or four Old Fashioneds tell me what you've heard
Sharing a moment over drinks and expecting truthful information.
Then you'd better listen closely I'll only say it once
Stressing the importance of attentive listening, with information shared only once.
