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
