"Quality or quantity?" was the question the man raised
But I'm not sure we have much choices
So I'll take whatever I can get these days
Living simple ain't so simple anymore
The jokes I used to make about it
They ain't as funny as before
And it's easy to see where I'm at
I got nowhere to go, but up
Ah, won't you give some, oh give me

Sometimes living, mostly surviving
I'm in hot water baby, but won't you come on dive in
Walk with me now and you'll grow a thick skin
I'm in hot water baby, but won't you come on dive in

I rеmember when I was just a littlе boy
You could go somewhere in public
Without hearing everybody's beeping toys
Now on a cell phone at a drive-thru in a car
"I'll be home in ten minutes. Did you program the VCR?"
These diversions set the tone
We're just fiddling for Rome
We're burning down our only home

Sometimes living, mostly surviving
I'm in hot water baby, but won't you come on dive in
Walk with me now and you'll grow a thick skin
I'm in hot water baby, but won't you come on dive in
In hot water baby, but won't you come on dive in
In hot water baby, but won't you come on dive in
Come on, dive in!
