Simple
All I ask for is a simple life
All this technology is just dandy
But you’re addicted to it like a child with candy.
Starving children around the world rubbing their tummies
While you waste food everyday like a bunch of dummies.
People on the streets of their country begging for money
While you drink your champagne and play rummy.
You give hate towards other religions and races
Instead of love and embraces.
Innocent men and women dying every day
All these wars do is cause my heart to weigh.
Drugs and alcohol consuming you; kicking you to the curb
But the one and only thing you should be consuming is the herb.
Materials and brand names is all you’re worried about
Well it’s time you take a different route.
Wake up and open your eyes
Why can’t you hear the cries?
Peace and love is what we need
I’ll even go down on my knees and plead.
