Simple Is Strong:
Some aren’t content with a whole fortune, my mother she’s content when she’s stirring a spoon
In my mug of tea, constructing the layers of me, milk and one sugar please it’s all I need to, escape from the habits of greed, cos there’s people on the streets without enough to eat
riddled by all these complexities, living with endless luxuries
You don’t have to give a thought to the repercussions, or the benefits for others, cos we all live and die by that same covenant, worship the god of profit and you’ll prosper, I’ll buy you girl can I make you an offer?
A thousand pearls for your soul
So I can take control and pigeon-hole
take control of your soul
I’ll upload all of your wants and desires
turn you into a product that you could buy or hire, advertise yourself on billboards, all over flyers
distribute them to the latest buyer
Cos everything must be given
A price in accordance with its surface image, so invest in me, I’m sure you can envisage, the potential of this profit pie
Simple is Strong, as life around you carries on. You try and gain more of those possessions
Simple is Strong, it seems to me
the less we have the more that we belong
And a bee is a bee, who we trying to be?
Its like humanity is turning into a new species, advanced technologies, complex ideologies, evolving, without solving, the world’s problems that won’t be solved if, we consume without a care
leaving the Earth in a state of disrepair
Take take take more than your fair share, Cos the worlds getting smaller, yet the gap still grows between them and those, who have too much control
and them with spiralling debts and loans
Have to work endless hours just to pay for a home, and when you finally find some time of your own, you’re too tired to express, putting on a front of happiness, worrying about the next day of work and stress
And who are we trying to impress?
strolling down the high streets with fashionable finesse
don’t you know the possessor can become the possessed?
don’t you know the interested can become the obsessed?
When your over-dependent on the next
short stimulus of the senses, its time to take stock
stop the pretending,
Reflect on the peace in your heart never ending,
never ending, never ending
Simple is Strong, as life around you carries on
You try and gain more of those possessions
Simple is Strong, it seems to me
the less we have the more that we belong
it seems to me
the less we have the more that we belong
it seems to me
the less we have the more that we belong...
