Simple Life - Original Mix

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.
 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?
 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?
 I can't change the world
 But would if I could
 It's not all about looking good.

 It's a line in the sand, it's a final stand
 So why'd it take so long?
 Don't hold your breath
 Gotta stay suppressed.
 Doing our best 'till 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.
 I can't change the world
 But would if I could
 It's not all about
 Looking good.
 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!)
