Intro: x6 verse 1 They mocked me when I was singing the songs Trying to get back to something more simple than we have They mocked me cos I told it like it was Wrote about disappointment and greed Wrote about what we really didn't need in our lives Make us feel alive and whole Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand And straight reality is always cold Saying something hard edged is off the wall And it might seem too bold verse 2: Mocked me when it got out of hand Nobody tried to understand Now we got to keep it simple and that's that Solo: x2 Chorus verse 3: Well I'm down here on the running board Where I've been many times before But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves Mocked me when I tried to get back Said the train was completely off the track And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves Bridge: Whoa we got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves Repeat with vocals
