Keep It Simple Songtext
von The Slackers

I try to keep it simple so you understand
I′m giving all the love that I can
I try to keep it simple so you understand
I'm giving all the love that I can

On a fall day, you had asked me
For my love, my friend
You said that I could trust you
Yeah, you said you′re gonna be my man

Ooh, but one lie led to another
And I know that I lied myself
You see, one lie leads to another lie
But how many men do our lies kill?

I try to keep it simple so you understand
I'm giving all the love that I can
I try to keep it simple so you understand
I'm giving all the love that I can


Come on, well, give me your excuses
Lord knows I heard them all
So has your mama and the FBI
And they′re both listening through the wall

They said one lie leads to another
I told it to the policeman
He said one lie leads to another lie
But how many lies kill how many men?

I try to keep it simple so you understand
I′m giving all the love that I can
I try to keep it simple so you understand
I'm giving all the love that I can

What part of love (Love) don′t you understand? (Love)
Said what part of love (Love), love don't you understand?

And some folks say, "Man, take it easy"
Some folks say, "Man, take a walk"
Well, maybe I′ll take myself on down to the river
And throw myself off the dock
When you see my body floating on by
You can throw me down a wreath
Then you can send my bleeding heart off to Washington
Attention, commander-in-chief


Woo, I try to keep it simple so you understand
I'm giving all the love that I can
I try to keep it simple so you understand
I′m giving all the love that I can

Said I try to keep it simple so that you would understand
The only thing worse in the whole wide world is another silent man
Said the only thing worse in the
Goddamn world would be another quiet man
You know, I try to keep it simple, I give you all the love that I can
