Keep It Simple - Mohamed Ali

[00:02.76]They mocked me when I was singing the songs
[00:10.83]Trying to get back to something more simple than we have
[00:15.69]They mocked me 'cos I told it like it was
[00:20.55]Wrote about disappointment and greed
[00:23.82]Wrote about what we really didn't need in our lives
[00:30.93]Make us feel alive and whole
[00:39.39]Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
[00:43.5]And straight reality is always cold
[00:51.51]Saying something hard edged is off the wall
[00:56.58]And it might seem too bold
[00:59.22]Mocked me when it got out of hand
[01:04.53]Nobody tried to understand
[01:10.53]Now we got to keep it simple and that's that
[01:17.13]Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
[01:24.45]And straight reality is always cold
[01:28.65]Saying something hard edged is off the wall
[01:32.490005]And it just might be too bold
[01:38.009995]Well I'm down here on the running board
[01:40.35]Where I've been many times before
[01:47.91]But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves
[01:55.68]Mocked me when I tried to get back
[01:58.53]Said the train was completely off the track
[02:02.16]And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves
[02:09.21]Whoa we got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
[02:19.47]Well got to get back to something simple just to save yourselves
[02:30.57]Well you got to keep it simple keep it simple just to -and that's that
[02:55.92]Whoa you got to keep it simple nowadays and that's just that
[03:04.23]Whoa you got to keep it simple nowadays and that's just the way it is
[03:16.56]And you got to keep it simple these days 'cos that's the way it is
[03:24.54001]Well you got to keep it keep it simple and that's that
