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 [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 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 [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?
