Simple Words

What's in your eyes?
There's something scandalous here
What will you say?
We heard the councilman curse
I'm sure you've heard it before
And will a million times more
And used it yourself
Along with some that are worse
I meant "fuck"
So I said "fuck"

Oh, sweet Jesus

That's what I do
I shoot straight from the hip

I rock the boats and tip over the scales
Oh, so don't act impressed
Give the manners a rest
Ask what you want
And I'll tell you no tales

Doubletalk political rhetoric
It's for the birds
Well, me, I'm just a simple man
With simple words
Sing Hallelujah
Give me simple words

Sing out the praises of the simple man
I say what I mean and I mean what I say
And I say, I say, I say, I say
I say, I say simple words

Good gravy, what do we hear?
There's a madman in the council
Good gravy, what do we hear?
Madman, madman!

You hear that, Violet?
Your son, a madman!
Ruin the family name, that's all
The cameras are rolling
We're like lambs to the slaughter now

We play a game where behavior's what counts
And maybe I'm just too blunt to survive
Oh, but can you expect that the souls you elect
Should be held to a light that would burn you alive?
God, I would love to be able to speak
Like a true politician
My words would sway
But, my friends, with me, you only get what you see
And that's all
That's all there is to say

We sing Hallelujah
Give me simple words
We sing out the praises of the simple man

I know what I like and I like what I know
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know simple words

Good gravy, what do we hear?
There's a genius in the council
Good gravy, what do we hear?
Genius, genius!

Oh, when I say yes

Then you mean yes

And when I say no

It's a no, brother

Sing out the verse
There's no reason to rehearse
When you're singing the simple words

We sing Hallelujah
Give me simple words
We sing out the praises of the simple man

We say as we do and we do as we say
And we say, we say, we say, we say
We say, we say simple words
Woo!
