Lyrics

What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
If being black or white were no different
Than having brown or blue eyes
If the starving child were born in a place
Where food was thrown away
What if only one religion
Prevailed in the world
Would we have a more secure feeling
About eternity
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
If women who played were called players
And men who played were called hoes
If I could sing straight to a man's heart
Instead of being fooled by a rose
If I could know what you were thinking
So I could make the right decisions
If a man could carry a child in his womb
And hurt until his bone
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
If I could gamble with my life
And be sure my ace is up
If I could be in more than one place
At any given time
If my heart was just a vessel
No trace of any feelings
I could touch the sky
Have my wish just sit and dream away
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
Now what would happen if one day the sun refused to shine
Or everything I owned suddenly no longer was mine?
What if physical boundaries could no longer be defined?
Or some guy appeared and turned your water into wine?
A world of total chaos, nothing like standing in line
No industries, no factories to manufacture and refine
Each president just stepped down, they all chose to resign
In dictionaries there's no words like structure or design
Incredible brain twisting, civilizations reclined
Seeing destruction with your eyes, society reclines
A virus kills within a day, works its way up your spine
Check all the books, there was never a man named Einstein
No mathematics, ain't nothing to opine
No rule of law, no velocity, no sine, no cosine
Ain't nothing to be heard, no classic bump and grind
I tried to signal to the neighbor but I found that he was blind
Fear will grip you from your heart to your intestines
You realize the clock stopped, now how do you tell the time?
No fishes in the sea, no grapes in the vine
People crashing into people cause there ain't no damn street signs
Tell me you're not thankful for this order divine
In the morning thank God for letting your sun shine
Thank God for letting your sun shine
Thank God for letting your sun shine
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
What if life was simple?
What if the road was smooth?
What if we flipped the script?
Would it have even a little effect on you?
