about
I recorded the vocals and acoustic guitar of this song years ago while living in my cramped east village apartment. I always really like this song, because of the rhythm. The vocals have a nice echoey and buzzy sound to them, since I recorded them out of my Fender reverb amp. I added the other elements later.
lyrics
Simple lives, going nowhere to me, it's like cable tv
Simple lives, tell your neighbors and friends that they're bleeding again
It's the same shit again and I'm still laughing
Sympathize with the classless and free, tell them what they should be
Naked eyes, tell them what can we do when they come here for you?
It's the same for me too, it's too late
It's like two worlds in one
Like a heart and a gun
Simple lives, makes a man out of you, breaks your heart into two
Simple lives, between heaven and hell, hope that you're felling well
It's too early to tell if it's shining
It's like two worlds in one
Like a heart and a gun
