They mocked me when I was singing the songs |
|
Trying to get back to something more simple than we have |
|
They mocked me 'cos I told it like it was |
|
Wrote about disappointment and greed |
|
Wrote about what we really didn't need in our lives |
|
Make us feel alive and whole |
|
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand |
|
And straight reality is always cold |
|
Saying something hard edged is off the wall |
|
And it might seem too bold |
|
Mocked me when it got out of hand |
|
Nobody tried to understand |
|
Now we got to keep it simple and that's that |
|
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand |
|
And straight reality is always cold |
|
Saying something hard edged is off the wall |
|
And it just might be too bold |
|
Well I'm down here on the running board |
|
Where I've been many times before |
|
But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves |
|
Mocked me when I tried to get back |
|
Said the train was completely off the track |
|
And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves |
|
Whoa we got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves |
|
Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves |
|
Well you got to keep it simple, keep it simple just to - and that's that |
|
Whoa you got to keep it simple nowadays and that's just that |
|
Whoa you got to keep it simple nowadays and that's just the way it is |
|
And you got to keep it simple these days 'cos that's the way it is |
|
Well you got to keep it, keep it simple and that's that |
