Letra Simple life Framing Hanley

Simple life

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 couldIt's not all about looking good.
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?
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!)
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 plan 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?
