Charlie Wood - Complicated Man Lyrics

I'm a complicated fellow
I'm a complicated man
I prefer to keep things mellow
And I do so when I can

I enjoy a little pleasure
I avoid a lot of pain
I try to live a life of leisure
Stay away from stress and strain

In days of old
I believed what I was told
That a man's got to live
By the sweat of his brow

But I take a look around me
And the facts I find confound me
They're not sweatin' it
But they're gettin' it anyhow

I don't need to be forgiven
I don't try to understand
The deepest mysteries of livin'
Are shiny pennies in the hand
I'm even done with trying
Of a complicated man

In days of old
I bought what I was sold
And I found I got worked
Like a second-hand mule

But now I'm done with buying
I'm even done with trying
Not me, man. No, thank you
I'm cool

This heavy handful you've been holding
You got to drop it if you can
Events can't help but keep unfolding
In strict accordance with the plan
Of a complicated man
