"Complicated Life" lyrics

"Complicated Life"

Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck
A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest
I went to the doctor and the good doctor said
You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead
Cut out the struggle and strife
It only complicates your life

Well I cut down women, I cut down booze
I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my shoes
I stopped going to work, I stopped reading the news
I sit and twiddle my thumbs 'cause I got nothing to do
Minimal exercise
To help uncomplicate my life

Gotta stand and face it, life is so complicated
Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah
You gotta get away from the complicated life, son
Life is overrated, life is complicated
Must alleviate this complicated life

Cut down the struggle and strife
It's such a complicated life

Like old Mother Hubbard
I got nothing in the cupboard
Got no dinner and I got no supper
Holes in my shoes, I got holes in my socks
I can't go to work 'cause I can't get a job
The bills are rising sky high
It's such a complicated life

Gotta stand and face it, life is so complicated
La di dah di dah dah, la di dah di dah dah
Gotta get away from the complicated life, son
Life is overrated, life is complicated
Must alleviate this complicated life

La di dah di dah dah, la di dah di dah dah (Life is overrated! Life is complicated!)
Gotta get away from the complicated life, son (got to get away!)
Life is overrated, life is complicated
Must alleviate this complicated life

Gotta get away from the complicated life, son
We gotta get away from the complicated life
