Simple back beats seem to sooth me
If I could hold them I would let sing
Take some rest as if not wicked
Walk around enjoying silence
A world away, elders gather
Begin their tongues and hardly falter
Words of fun, joy and grievance
Simple songs, work and penitence(?)
Drowning like a stone
Or a path overgrown
Never lie away
So for goodness sake
Down the road
Deer are crossing
The grass is greener where they're walking
Rattling beast and heavy movement
Mark their now son before we lose them
Bear your arms ever so wisely
Burn them all if you have no need
Dress to kill but kill so kindly
Hollow hearts to weak and weary
Drowning like a stone
Or a path overgrown
Never lie away
So for goodness sake
Now call me crazy
But all the old ways of living simple are simply fading
And all we buy is time before we die
Lay on down sense of how
One old friend he seldom told me
I don't mind is the devils playpen
Mind the gaps and watch them closely
Spread the love but chose your friends wisely
To love yourself to love your family
Find the difference between wants and needs
Be sure to stop count your blessings
Smell the roses and fight for something
Drowning like a stone
Or a path overgrown
Never lie away
So for goodness sake
Now call me crazy
But all the old ways of living simple are simply fading
And all we buy is time before we die
Lay on down sense of how
