Simple Life
[Verse 1]
Well, we've got too much time on our hands
So we've been looking at ourselves too much
It's like if anybody meets your demands
You get embarrassed and you start to blush
When everyone's opinions are wasted
It's getting too complicated

[Hook]
What's this notion of a simple life?
Do you think that we're ever gonna get it right?
I don't understand how it is what we planned
Could ever go so wrong
So I guess if we give it just a little time
Then we'll know if it's ever worth another try
It's a line in the sand, it's a final stand
So why'd it take so long?

[Verse 2]
I dare to say these problems are your problems
Please stop telling me you've got them
Is it fair to say that we're not in this together
When we're sorted into these columns?

[Bridge]
I can't change the world, but would if I could
It's not all about looking good

[Verse 3]
Don't hold your breath
Gotta stay suppressed
Doing our best 'til there's nothing left
We're tired, but we're better when moving
My dear, know there's nothing to fear
Hold that smile from ear-to-ear
In memory of the people we're losing.

[Bridge]
I can't change the world, but would if I could
It's not all about looking good

[Hook 2]
What's this notion of a simple life?
Will we ever know what to do?
Don't think that we're ever gonna get it right
If we listen to you
If we listen to you
