Let Me Tell You Something

Let me tell you something kid, you got a lot to learn This ain't what you think it is no, this whole thing about to burn It's a junkyard slave to oil and rust It'll eat you clean of hope and trust I'll tell you something kid, if I was you I'd run Straight to the other side to full-time job and part-time fun And you can save yourself the struggle, the climb-up jig-saw puzzle The never knowing how to hustle, only how to get yourself in trouble Oh, if I was you I'd try for the simple life Just love and sleeping through the night I'd play it on the safer side Keep it simple, babe, make it easy I'll tell you something kid, you're certainly ambitious But if I was you I'd get a useful job in maybe business What you feel don't matter, everybody's got something to say But nobody's got the time to listen to it anyway And I'll tell you something else, time will set you free No more caring what they think, no more chasing your vanity But if you ever get the chance to slip through the cracks Well, take that money straight to the bank, baby No never ever look back, hmm Still, if I was you I'd try for the simple life Just love and sleeping through the night I'd play it on the safer side Keep it simple, babe, make it easy Still, if I was you I'd try for the simple life Just love and sleeping through the night I'd play it on the safer side Keep it simple, babe, make it easy Keep it simple, babe, make it easy
