Simplify

I used to have time on my hands to do some livin'

I always had a little time to find some peace

There was even time on Sunday for the good Lord

Now I ain't even got the time to stop and breathe

I spent forty hours workin' for the big man

And fifty more for everybody else

Seems like everybody's lookin' for a piece of me

And I think it's time to keep some for myself

As of late I'm burnin' both ends of the candle

Pleasin' everybody else to just get by

I wonder how things got so complicated

Right now I think it's time to simplify

Somebody's always tryin' to start a fire beneath me

Just to make me go where I don't wanna be

Seems like I'm always hurryin' tryin' to please somebody

And I think it's time for someone to set me free

No, the boss man ain't got time to bring me water

And the water ain't got time to quench my soul

My soul ain't even got time for the six string

And the debt man keeps me buried in the hole

As of late I'm burnin' both ends of the candle

Pleasin' everybody else to just get by

I wonder how things got so complicated

Right now I think it's time to simplify

As of late I'm burnin' both ends of the candle

Pleasin' everybody else to just get by

I wonder how things got so complicated

Right now I think it's time to simplify

Yeah, right now I think it's time to simplify
