I've been thinking about the simple life I'd like to have with you 
We could build... 
A house in the hills 
A mighty place where we could stay 
And my 
Friends come to stay to visit 
Wondering why I've thrown it all away 
I feel strange with language 
Which I haven't spoken in awhile 
Well my friends this is the simple life 
Our own kids... 
A thousand in the yard 
Filthy, they join us in the living room 
They ask me: 
Who my friends are 
Before I met them all what was my life like 
So I 
Hot box from the basement 
And try to explain what I use to do 
They're going through all the cresent photos 
My chilidren say that that isn't like you 
Well my kids... 
That was not the simple life 
So I 
Without my funny looking sandales 
Head down to the market for some food 
And I 
Scratch my feelings out of here 
And go on long walks with you 
With my wife, walking through the simple life 
Well my kids, tell my friends good-bye 
It's time my friends to go back to the good life 
Oh, such a simple life
