Verse 2
Simpleness describes
The iron that is you and your
rusty old life
get on with the mattress and
tell tale lies
Watch everything that you

were following the sheep
and they are at it again
making believe that they’re
free as it seems
but only finding out that
they’re on a sinking ship
that doesn’t care
how many it saves today
why don’t we breathe?
why can’t you see
that things are’nt always
what they appear to be?
And as simple as it sounds
I think i found
Am G F
The perfect way to grow old
