Staring At The Sun - Simple Kid

Well, I started out strong

And my hopes were high

I figured I’ll be like Bonnie and Clyde

25 beers as an alibi, had to get connected

So I wrote a long letter to a government man

I told him I was born in the summer of Sam

He said, «Son, I don’t think that you understand

I just wanna get elected»

But my heart got heavy and my hair grew long

I had to take a job just to get along

I was down in the gutter below

I was down in the gutter below

As my daddy always said

«Sing a song, how hard can it be just to get along?»

He said, «Don't go selling your soul

Yeah, don’t go selling your soul»

Hey man, you know, what’s up, too slow

Feels like I’m staring at the sun

You get high, you get low, don’t let your ego

I’ve been staring at the sun, staring at the sun

Well, I got a lot of love for the modern man

I read a lot of books that I don’t understand

Won a lot of things, but I lost your soul

Just want a hooker with a heart of gold

As my heart gets heavy and my hair gets long

How hard can it be just to get along?

When you don’t go selling your soul

Yes, don’t go selling your soul

Hey man, you know, what’s up, too slow

Feels like I’m staring at the sun

You get high, you get low, don’t let your ego

I’ve been staring at the sun, staring at the sun

Now baby, I love you when spring’s in the air

But it just seems like, lately

We spend our days just smoking pot and

Wondering how we got so fucked up

Hey man, you know, don’t let your ego

Feels like we’re staring at the sun

Hey man, you know, don’t let your ego

I’ve been staring at the sun

Hey man, you know, don’t let your ego

Feels like we’re staring at the sun

Hey man, you know, don’t let your ego

I’ve been staring at the sun, staring at the sun

Staring at the sun

Staring at the sun

Staring at the sun
