| Let me tell you something kid, you got a lot to learn
|
| This ain’t what you think it is no, this whole thing about to burn
|
| It’s junkyard slave to oil and rust
|
| It’ll eat you clean of hope and trust
|
| I’ll tell you something kid, if I was you I’d run
|
| Straight to the other side to full-time job and part-time fun
|
| And you can save yourself the struggle, the climb-up jig-saw puzzle
|
| The never knowing how to hustle, only how to get yourself in trouble
|
| Oh, if I was you
|
| I’d try for the simple life
|
| Just love and sleeping through the night
|
| I’d play it on the safer side
|
| Keep it simple, babe, make it easy
|
| I’ll tell you something kid, you’re certainly ambitious
|
| But if I was you I’d get a useful job in maybe business
|
| Cause what you feel don’t matter, everybody’s got something to say but
|
| Nobody’s got the time to listen to it anyway
|
| And I’ll tell you something else, time will set you free
|
| No more caring what they think, no more chasing your vanity
|
| But if you ever get the chance to slip through the cracks, well
|
| Take that money straight to the bank baby, no never ever look back
|
| Still, if I was you
|
| I’d try for the simple life
|
| Just love and sleeping through the night
|
| I’d play it on the safer side
|
| Keep it simple, babe, make it easy |
