I wanna be simple
I wanna let life roll by
I wanna take it easy
Under a clear blue sky

I wanna be lazy
Take each day as it comes
No dates, no diary
Just twiddle my thumbs

Now, if you see a man waving from a boat
That could well be me, you see, happily afloat

I wanna be simple
Don't want no cares or woes
Pack up my troubles
And see how it goes

If you see this man happy and at peace
Then you'll know that I've downsized and voted with my feet

I wanna be simple
Don't want no pre-sale fears
Don't need no cash till
Ringing in my ears
I wanna be simple
Take each day as it comes
I wanna be leaving
Just be a bum
