Simple Song Lyrics
Wake up, here I go
Cram it all down my throat
Stomach's so full
That I wish I could choke
7 AM, my head's already in a spin
As soon as I'm out that door
Bam, it hits me like a ton of those red bricks
Can't dig myself out of this highest ditch
This madness
I swear, sometimes I can't tell
Which way's up, which way's down
It's all up in my face
Need to push it away
Somebody push it away
So all that I can hear
Is a simple song
Sing along now
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Midday sun beating on the concrete
Burning up my feet
Too many cars on the street
The noise, the red, the green
Makes me wanna scream
5 o’clock now
It's bumper on bumper on bumper
Horns honking
Nobody's looking, but everybody's talking
Just another day on this highway
I swear, sometimes I can't tell
Which way's up, which way's down
It's all up in my face
Need to push it away
Somebody push it away
'Cause all I wanna hear, oh
Is a simple song
Hmm, sing along now
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Hey, sing along now
What I'd give to turn it off
And make it stop, make it stop
You gotta make it stop
So all that I can hear
Is a simple song
Hmm, sing along now
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, da, da, da
La, la, la, la
La, da, da, da
Cram it all down my throat
Stomach's so full
That I wish I could choke
7 AM, my head's already in a spin
Bam, it hits me like a ton of those red bricks
Can't dig myself out of this highest ditch
This madness
Which way's up, which way's down
It's all up in my face
Need to push it away
Somebody push it away
So all that I can hear
Is a simple song
Sing along now
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Burning up my feet
Too many cars on the street
The noise, the red, the green
Makes me wanna scream
It's bumper on bumper on bumper
Horns honking
Nobody's looking, but everybody's talking
Just another day on this highway
Which way's up, which way's down
It's all up in my face
Need to push it away
Somebody push it away
'Cause all I wanna hear, oh
Is a simple song
Hmm, sing along now
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Hey, sing along now
And make it stop, make it stop
You gotta make it stop
So all that I can hear
Is a simple song
Hmm, sing along now
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, da, da, da
La, la, la, la
La, da, da, da

i really like this song it's about how in the industry that she's in there is so much pressure and stress and sometimes you just need to step back and remember all the easy things.
"cram it all down my throat, stomach so full, that i wish i could choke'"
that's my favorite line it's so deep.
I earned alot of respect for her after listening to this
I can totally relate to this and i wish more ppl would come out with songs like this instead of sex drugs and stupid stuff
When i wake up my mind instantly starts worrying fearing the worst and not believing in change. Im always so upbeat and I just with I can breathe simplicity and enjoy life without all the constant black.
This is describing the stressful rush of the entertainment business. The person involved...Miley, in this instance...is so caught up in the whole thing, she barely gets to direct herself or make any decisions. Sometimes she wishes she can just put the world at peace for a moment and hear a "simple song" to calm her down.
Great song!
holyfreakingod I LOVE THIS SONG :D really, :)

wow her new albums great. like you can really tell its all her. not like 'oh i hope these songs get me on the radioooo!' like really people think so lowly of her because of those damn pictures. holy shit shes fifteen like don't expect her to act 35 and be mature enough to know whats right and wrong.
Yeah i totally agree with you..x She wont know whts right and wrong yet..x I wish people would just let her live her dream and stop given her hassle..x

i totally agree!
i totally agree!
totally my favorite song off the new album. she didn't write it.
but it's amazing.
I love this song, because of how so raw it is, the lyrics, and how there's pop/rock-ish in it, yet still really pretty piano. Love this song! It's like this everyday with me. I can't take it.
if i had a reality show about my life, this would be the theme song! i love it because there are not many songs out there about stress. it's about music.
