Simple Livin' (Explicit)

Simple Livin' - Gym Class Heroes

I'm like nine minutes away

From finishing my nine hour shift

And wishin I was gone nine hours ago

Cause nine hours wasted

Tossin back of this chicken

I coulda written nine verses

Just in time for the show

Slacker mindstate livin

On time that's borrowed

My motto's I'll stop

Procrastinatin tomorrow

I took the sorrow from the windchimes

Left happiness lonesome

And strung up sarcasm to

Make the melody wholesome

From my lungs to my feet

I'm breathin everything I speak

And now they chargin for oxygen

And the bill's due next week

I'll be a day late and a buck short

Story of my life

I wish my pay rate was much more

Duckin swords in the rat race

I didn't apply for runnin towards

Something that's fake

And thinkin why for

They shuttin doors right in my face

And sittin high horse is a car and a d**e place

Somethin to die for this is my war so

Now I'm schemin on plots to make my pockets swell

Simple livin is a b**ch but damn I do it well

Some are fortunate to make it and some of 'em fail

Some locomotives push through and some of em get derailed

Schemin on plots HEY HEY

Simple livin is a b**ch HEY HEY

Some are fortunate to make it HEY HEY

Some locomotors push through HEY HEY

I lead a crocodile mile lifestyle I run and slide

But when it's time to collide with the bump

I always bail

Cause I'm not ready for that dive

Or that silly nine to five

Solidified career option

A hop skip and a leap

Away from rock star

And not too far away from fillin pop's shoes

The idyllic hard workin type of calloused hands

Complete with wife kids dog

House and picket fence that's nonsense

I'm convinced I'm built for better things

And won't settle for the empty

Smile that cheddar brings

It seems like I'm workin hard simply

Cause it's what they say I have to do

You graduate and then you either get a job

Or you go to school

12 years wasn't enough

That's more than half of my life

Spent tryin to make the world accept me

Plus I've got the papers saying

That I made it through

Now I'm working 2 jobs

3 with music and you don't respect me

F**k it I'll retire now

You'll work until you're 62 and

Now I'm schemin on plots to

Make my pockets swell

Simple livin is a b**ch

But damn I do it well

Some are fortunate to

Make it and some of 'em fail

Some locomotives push through

And some of 'em get derailed

Schemin on plots HEY HEY

Simple livin is a b**ch HEY HEY

Some are fortunate to make it HEY HEY

Some locomotors push through HEY HEY
