If the sun ever decides to shine on me,
I will look straight into the light, and let it burn my eyes.

I know so many people who live in the shadows it makes me cry
and I’m no one who tells anyone how to live.
I believe in the simple life.

And Hollywood isn’t how it is or anything should be
and the dollar bill isn’t half the thrill they wish it could be.

I know so many people who live in the shadows it makes me cry
and I’m no one who tells anyone how to live.
I believe in the simple life.

I don’t believe the lie.

So if your head’s not right
and the things you think are a little south of crazy town,
kill your T.V. and go find your friends so they can talk you, talk you down.

I know so many people who live in the shadows it makes me cry
and I’m no one who tells anyone how to live.
I believe in the simple life.
