Simple Day
On your way to work you pass him by
The man in the park doesn't catch your eye
With all that he owns in a bag or two
And he's wondering why he's still alive
You're on the corner now, as you hail a cab
A blind man asks "Could you spare a dime"
You try not to hear, you can't take the time
You don't hear him say "Thank you anyway"
Chorus:
Just a simple day
All on a simple day
All on a simple day
In a taxi now with the radio on
A politician is singing the same old song:
"Won't forget to vote" you hear him say
But what can you do with no point of view
You read the paper and there's nothing new
The tragedies told, well they don't touch you
Thank God they're so far away
Thank God on this simple day
Chorus:
All on a simple day
All on a simple day
Just a simple day
