Simple Living Songtext
von Fred Small

Too many words, too many sounds
Too many attractions turn me around
Too many miles in a chrome cocoon
I never get anywhere, I can′t see the moon
Too many commercials, too many lies
Too many celebrities I don't recognize
Too many brand names, too many magazines
I got so much sensation, I can′t feel a thing

Give me simple living
Gotta get to simple living
Simple living
Simple, simply living

Too many things we just throw away
If we put it in the garbage, we're gonna eat it someday
We turn on the lights, and a river dies
We turn the TV on to see an eagle fly


Too much work with nothing to do
Too many dreams never come true
Too much fighting without a second glance
Too much desperation they call romance

Gonna take this life, pare it to the bone
Baby, when you knock, baby, I'll be home
I′ll make my breakfast, sweep the floor
Open the window, unlock the door

Gonna turn off the video, the audio, too
Open my eyes, take in the view
See the divine in the veins of a leaf
In the hands of a beggar, in the eyes of a thief

Simple living
Give me simple living
Simple living
Simple living

(Simple living) Give me simple living
Simple living
Simple living
