Written as a buffer to insulate us from the pains of growing up. Pretty funny, even now.

If you are down, take an elevator up!

If the pressures of the world get you down.....don't you cry
Have a piece of apple pie or become a super spy
Don't watch the worries of the world go by
While all your friends are flying high

Smoke a little pot and see what's not
There's more truth there than anywhere
Don't mope around with your nose to the ground
Just stick it in your TV set.

If the pressures of the world get you down.....don't you cry
Stick a knife in your neighbor's back
Hit him in the head with an iron rack
When he's dead just grab his bread
And buy yourself a yoyo

Spin it up and spin it down
Jump and skip all through the town
Jump so high you fall through the sky
And the moment that you land you're dead

If the pressures of the world get you down.....don't you cry
If the pressures of the world get you down.....take an elevator up
