SIMPLE MAN
(written and produced by Declan Galbraith)
This weight I carry
The burden I bear
Lies so heavy on my back
Shackles around my neck
I am the simple man
With a cluttered soul
Tarnished mind
I am the simple man
With a cluttered soul
Tarnished mind
But I want to be free
'Cause this is my life
I wanna live it
Just how I like
No one's gonna break me down
Yeah this is my life
I wanna live it
No one's gonna break me down
I look to the people
And just see ghosts
Their hollowed faces
And their minds gripped to their souls
Now free spirit
Seems only a dream
A myth to keep you
Blind and quiet
Such a powerful thing
Will there be a time
You choose conscience over pride
I am the simple man
With a cluttered soul
Tarnished mind
And I want to be free
'Cause this is my life
And I wanna live it
Just how I like
No one's gonna break me down
Yeah this is my life
I wanna live it
Yeah no one's gonna break me down
So much time gone by
And we're still dying for the same thingsIf not religion then it's race
Always the same
And this storm lays heavy
Like a wailing banshee on my mind
It's in my veins and it breeds flesh to my bones
Yeah this is my life
And I wanna live it
No one's gonna break me down
Yeah this is my life
I wanna live it
No one's gonna break me down
This my life
And I want to live it
I am the simple man
With a cluttered soul
And a tarnished mind
You're trying to break me down
