Lyrics
Man it's crazy, It's so crazy out there
I watch the evening news. there's so much despair
They tell of danger so I've got to beware
They say it's brutalizing
Somebody tell who the hell is in charge?
Nobody seems to be. It's a free for all.
And I'm amazed that we'd take it this far
Turn around. Now the children have the guns.
Call me an optimist
I'm sure there's something we can do
to make some sense of the choice that we've made to lose
If anything should happen to you
I would fall to pieces I can not lie
Keeping me sane through all the world iniquities
Running 'round in circles and sure to die
Give me the simple life
Room for us all
Give me a simpler life
I believe we can change the world
Give me the simple life
Choose, for it's made for you
Yes, a simpler life
I believe we can start a new
Call me an optimist
I'm sure there's something we can do
to make some sense of the choice that we've made to lose
Give me the simple life
Man it's crazy out there
Tell of danger we've got to beware
Simple Life I believe we can change the world
Yeah
Simple life
Running in Circles
Give me a simpler life
