Lyrics

simple days
(verse)
it's a shame you don't remember when
we danced to rpm's when the needle dropped.
it's a shame you don't remember when
we were amused by pretend and we would play hopscotch.
but look how far we've come
we've learned somehow just to be numb;
turn off the evening news,
don't wanna see depressing views
of cities bombed, their children gone
lord what do we do when we are

(chorus)
lost along the way
broken reflections staring back at us each day
lost along the way
desperate to make a difference but too afraid
were lost, were lost, so lost
wishing we could just get back to simple days

(verse)
wake up, can't you smell the disease
it's the world feelin queezy from being abused.
wake up, if we'd have lived like the cleavers
we'd have blamed it on beaver cause we need an excuse
to say it isn't us
who's blown another country up.
when did the human race decide that it's become our place
to just end lives, no compromise
lord what do we do

(chorus)

(bridge)
and oversaturation is just the simple explanation
but nothing's simple 'bout the lives we lead today; lord i pray

(chorus)
