Everclear – Simple And Plain lyrics

This is my life simple and plain
It is what it is, yeah... I will never change
I am simple and plain
I will never change

I was born into a house of hate
Pain was my brother from the age of 8
In a place of violence he kept me safe
He was the only good thing
In a terrible place
Pain was there when he needed to be
He taught me to listen
He taught me to see
He taught me to think
When the world got loud
He taught me to fight
When there was no way out

I am simple and plain
I will never change
I love my life, oh... even on the bad days
I will never change
I will never change

I wish sometimes I had nothing to say
I wish I could smile and nod and fade
I wish my life was a video game
I wish I was easy like a government day
I take all the air out of every room
This is me this is what I do
When I fall down and it all goes wrong
It makes me better it makes me strong

You can do what you like to do
If you dance with me
I will dance with you
We can all fall small
Walk away smooth
Let me be me, let you be you
Or you can do what you have to do
Fuck with me, I will fuck with you
If you hurt my people, I will do what I have to do
To make all your nightmares come true

I am simple and plain
I will never change
I love my life every single day
I will never change
I will never change

I will never change
I will never change

Show me the way you walk
Show me the way you talk
Show me that you have found a better way
I love the way that I love my life, no, I will never change
Show me a life without mistakes
Turn me around if you think you can
No, I will never change
Bring me down if you think you can
I will never change
Knock me down if you think you can
I will never change

I will never change
I will never change
