We live in such a complicated land But I wish I were a simpleminded man Cause I'd just look into your eyes And I could hold your little hand As we walk around the playground in the sand.

Well I wish I had something clever to say to you But a happy boy has many words to choose So I'll just smile and walk along Listening to you hum that song From the sound of a guitar on the radio.

You won't have to say a word to me I'll sit in the grass and watch you climb a tree. Jump down fast in your barefoot feet, Look so cool like you're catching the breeze And you laugh All the way To me.

Well I know I'll see you tomorrow little girl. You walked away and each step bounced your curls. Whether it's love, I don't know Never can tell where it's gonna go But for now I just want you standing next to me.

If so much knowledge sets the people free Then tell me why I was so happy Before Before you got to my head With every word you say to me You tear my whole world to shreds.

When I was happy you said I was dumb Just a stupid kid sucking his thumb Well tell me What means more to you A happy man or One more desperate man like you

I can learn about the world from a metal chair Or I can pick up my feet and take a walk out there What you want? I'll be a fat lazy man You made me lazy already When I'm not working your plan

Yet every day I sit right down Raise my hand and go to town I'm a fool You told me loud and clear But there's nothing you can do about that Cause I'm a little weird.
