I wanna be simple

I wanna let life roll by

I wanna take it easy

Under a clear blue sky

I wanna be lazy

Take each day as it comes

No dates, no diary

Just twiddle my thumbs

Now, if you see a man waving from a boat

That could well be me, you see, happily afloat

I wanna be simple

Don't want no cares or woes

Pack up my troubles

And see how it goes

If you see this man happy and at peace

Then you'll know that I've downsized and voted with my feet

I wanna be simple

Don't want no pre-sale fears

Don't need no cash till

Ringing in my ears

I wanna be simple

Take each day as it comes

I wanna be leaving

Just be a bum
