Too many words too many sounds

Too many attractions turn me around

Too many miles in a chrome cocoon

I never get anywhere I can't see the moon



Too many commercials too many lies

Too many celebrities I don't recognize

Too many brand names too many magazines

I got so much sensation I can't feel a thing



Simple living

Got to get to simple living

Simple living

Simple... simply living



Too many things we just throw away

If we put it in the garbage we're gonna eat it someday

We turn on the lights and a river dies

We turn the TV on to see and eagle fly



Too much work with nothing to do

Too many dreams never come true

Too much hurting without a second glance

Too much desperation they call romance



Gonna take this life, pare it to the bone

Baby when you knock baby I'll be home

I'll make my breakfast sweep the floor

Open the window unlock the door



Gonna turn off the video the audio too

Open my eyes take in the view

See the divine in the veins of a leaf

In the hands of a beggar in the eyes of a thief



Simple living

Gimme simple living

Simple living

Simple living
