Simple Things

Father left home when you turned 14
Took the best, left the rest for the simple things
The simple things come easy when you've been used
Tried every drug in the neighborhood
But nothing can change your mind about the simple things
The simple things come easy when you've been abused
Life is cheap, money's free
These are what we call the simple things
Desperate now, gun to your mouth
Is death worse than life when you live for the simple things?
The simple things come easy when you've no choice
Cause it smells outside from atomic tide
And you have no money and nowhere to hide
The simple things come easy when you've no voice
Life is cheap, money's free
These are what we call the simple things
The simple things come easy, when the good things in life aren't free
I will try to protect you from within myself
Let the simple things run their course
The simple things come easy, when the good things in life aren't free
I can't trust my family and friends
It's all around, they all want the simple things
The simple things come easy, if you believe
I'll draw my lines, choose my defense
When it all comes down they'll kill for the simple things
The simple things come easy if you concede
Life is cheap, money's free
These are what we call the simple things
The simple things come easy, when the good things in life aren't free
