A simple man
With a simple plan
Leaving town
As quick as he can
Gonna blow this pop stand
Find something real
Catch a fast train
To Nirgendwo
Pack up the suitcase
Pay as you go
Living like this
Was never part of the deal

Somewhere conversations
Took a turn for the worse
They’re aloof, intolerant
And sanctimonious
But with everybody shouting
Different tunes
You might wanna kick it down a notch
Too much confliction
Too much grief
Too much cancelation
Don’t know what to believe
Just getting too deep here
Gotta save the watch

Don’t know
Where paradise lies
A setting sun
A bright sunrise or
If it even exists
In this day and time
A simple man
Looking for peace
Maybe head west
Maybe head east
Maybe just wander from
Ridiculous to sublime

A simple man
With a simple plan
A purpose
None other than
Picking up pieces
Of what he thinks is good
Got nothing to say
‘bout all this mess
Doing his best
To stay out of the way
A simple man
Simply misunderstood
