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
