It's really simple, choose a profession
Make lots of room for all the knowledge you'll acquire
Then go and sit through a bunch of lessons
Get yourself a job and work till you retire
Get up with the sun and have a coffee
Then go and grind another day
I knew what I was gonna be since I was three
Why can't you be simple like me?


It's really easy, you find a partner
Same age, race and class but different sex
Then you marry, buy a house, a car and
Stay together even if you're at each other's necks
When your kids grow up they'll do the same
Well I'm sure they would if you had any
When I was your age I had built a family
Why can't you be simple like me?



All you ever seem to do is think
What you never seem to do is do
Don't underestimate the power of routine
To keep you busy, to get you through
It's simple really, you say your prayers
Try to believe that there is something in the sky
And god be willing you'll be ok as
Long as you remember to be busy till you die
