Simple Life Lyrics

Mother Nature and the elephant man

Refill prescription to the radio land

Tatoos and interviews, another way to say

You've grabbed us by the balls and taken us away

Halleluja, another video

Surgically removed, reimproved, its the way to go



I was raised on cigarettes and jazz

Cheap drive-in movies and soul

Now I live in basements and flats

Where did the simple life go?



Talk show, talk show,

Talk about nothing that you really wanna know, talk show

Freak show, peep show,

You're on the cover of a magazine, in between

There is a scene that you really wanna know



I was raised on alcohol and blues

Front porches and the front page of the Sunday news

Now I live in silicone crowds

Where did the simple life go?



Halleluja, another video

Surgically removed, reimproved, its the way to go

Halleluja, you changed your hair

Now you want to change the world



I was raised on baseball and football

Didn't even know their names

Now I live in a suicide trap

Where did the simple life go?
