As Simple As That - Robert Weede

You go to work, work hard all day At the end of the week, you collect your pay That's just where it's at It's as simple as that You pay your bills the best that you can But the rising cost sure hurts a family man While the rich man gets fat It's as simple as that And the money goes so fast it ain't funny Ba-ha-ha, it ain't funny Your mind's made up to get that house on the hill But you just don't know if you ever will 'Cause you can't get the cash It's as simple as that 'Cause the man from the bank, he won't give you a loan Without putting a mortgage on all that you own A tit for a tat, that's how it is It's as simple as that Ooh, and the money goes so fast it ain't funny Ba-ha-ha, it ain't funny No, it's as simple, it's as simple It's as simple as that, hey! Before you know it, the kids, they're all grown Married off with kids of their own Now it's all in the past, true story, yeah It's as simple as that You've reached the autumn of your life And all that's left is you and your wife And a dog and a cat, that's how it is It's as simple as that Ooh, and the money goes so fast it ain't funny Ba-ha-ha, it ain't funny Nooo, it's as simple, it's as simple It's as simple as that, hey yeah! It's as simple, it's as simple It's as simple as that It's as simple, it's as simple It's as simple as that, hey yeah!

I've grown up in a broken city I've seen chain, but I don't want pity Maybe I'm too young to be demanding I have tried, and I have failed To bear the cross, piercing nails Forgive me please, oh please Be understanding 'Cause I'll not forget the love you gave But be that as it may Every night I pray For brighter stars, more golden days And to be taken far away Be that as it may I know it's wrong for me to stay I cannot bear these shades of grey So now I'm on my way Be that as it may I will not forget the love you gave

Be That As It May Oh, oh it's cold outside And the hardest part Is I Can't take away the chill in the night And I've been pining on and on How everything is wrong As if to throw away everything I own And the weather changed again But the city looks the same Though I can't find the sun From the chill in the air Be that as it may, I've fallen on better days Be that as it may, I've fallen on better days Nowhere is a place Somewhere hidden in the face Of every dream I've had that doesn't quite exist It doesn't pay to blink Cause it's later than you think You're whole life could change with or without me A promise is a lie With a prettier disguise Like I'll love you For the rest of my life Be that as it may, I've fallen on better days Be that as it may, I've fallen on better days Six o'clock in the morning and here I am Morning without warning once again So I'm playing it cool I'm playing it down cause it's easier on me All the way around And I don't wanna say goodbye But I'm tired of this and I I'm running out of time. I'd fly if only I could fly But I barely walk this time, I'm running out of time It feels like dying I feel like crying I'm Running out of time
