Lyrics

It started out simple, then it wasn't It was climbing trees and gettin' dirty knees Mama calling our names right on supper time Skadoosh Yeah, somewhere, somehow life all changed We're strapped in the backseat driving in the fast lane It's a workin' grind while we're drinking our wine We're holding our breath and wishing on a good time Why's it gotta be this, why's it gotta be like that Jumpin' jack flash take us back So why's it gotta be so complicated When people always say life's what you make it So why's it gotta be so complicated They're selling us dreams, but most of us fake it, yeah So why's it gotta be so complicated Well, I'm yearning for a simple life Ooh, away from all the noise and strife And I wanna slow down the melody And just breathe Why's it gotta be this, why's it gotta be that Strawberry fields take us back Like The Walrus said, "All you need is love" So why's it gotta be so complicated When people always say life's what you make it So why's it gotta be so complicated They're selling us dreams, but most of us fake it, yeah So why's it gotta be so complicated Oh, why's it gotta be this Hmm, why's it gotta be like that Why's it gotta be like this, why's it gotta be like that Strawberry fields take us back Like The Walrus said, "All you need is love" So why's it gotta be so complicated When people always say life's what you make it Make it, make it, yeah So why's it gotta be so complicated Why's it gotta be so, so complicated, alright They're selling us dreams but most of us fake it, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) So why's it gotta be so complicated Why's it gotta be, yeah People always say life's what you make it Whoa-oh So why's it gotta be so complicated Nah-nah-a-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, yeah They're selling us dreams, but most of us fake it, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah) So why's it gotta be so complicated
