Nothing to Worry About Lyrics

Do this thing, this type of thing
Put a little money on this type of thing
I got nothing to worry about
I got nothing to worry about

Do this thing, this type of thing
Put a little money on this type of thing
I got nothing to worry about
I got nothing to worry about

Negative,
Why always so negative?
If you have problems, why don't you go solve them?

Beat me up
At least you wont be out of touch
If you're such a poet, lift your tongue and show it.

[Repeat: x2]
Do this thing, this type of thing?
Put a little money on this type of thing
We got nothing to worry about
We got nothing to worry about

Trouble seems, trouble seems to fallow you.
Its always round you like something you subscribe to.
Be prepared, there must be something in you
Turning boys to men, and then back again

[Repeat: x4]
Do this thing, this type of thing
Put a little money on this type of thing
I got nothing to worry about
I got nothing to worry about

[Repeat: x2]
Nothing to worry about
I got nothing to worry about

It's talking about existential anxiety...that point where you come to think, "This is it...is this it!?", and you lose your cool and feel like a fool for doing what you do as if you were squandering your life but just need to realize that this IS it and you just need to relax and enjoy (put some money in this and that and there's nothing to worry about"). The video is on point by showing people that enjoy themselves in embodying their own culture; it may be pointless but it's an enveloping means of existing as pleasant distraction.

The point about fighting ("beat me up") and going "from boys to men and then back again" is talking about those people that stir shit up so they can create problems so as to have something to solve...to "make meaning" in an otherwise worthless existence. The use of this subculture shows how a gang can create meaning without spilling over into violence (even one that appears to have machismo and an "aggressive attitude" as its base virtues).

first comment XD great tune about a girl who uses men i should think... and the singer doesnt like her it seems, he thinks that she says alot of crap and possibly thinks the world revolves around her,,, but hey, he has nothin to worry about. Just an opinion

I'm pretty sure this is an ode to street musicians/performers.

The video, which features Japanese rockabilly street performers, seems to support this theory.

I think it's about a pessimistic person. Or pessimistic people in general.

are you kidding? i love this song!

and for some reason, i never really thought about what its deepest meaning was. i always just paid attention to the title and let the rest just be words.
