[Intro] [Verse 1] I used to wear my misreadings like a badge A filter, shaking out the fools and bigots from the mass Somebody always got it, someone always pulled the thread Now I'm playing to an empty room And I'm singing to the dead [Verse 2] The headline's got twelve words, the story's got two One side wears the white hat, guess which one is you They trained your thumb to scroll until the rage kicks in And complexity's a trick they pull To let the wrong side win [Pre-chorus] So I made it simple, simple, simple Killed the nuance, killed the middle Simple, simple, simple Because you're worth it! [Chorus] This is a simple song Short enough to follow along No big words, no long goodbyes No argument you can't decide I wrote it dumb so you'd feel smart A three-chord lie with a two-beat heart This is a simple song And baby, nothing could go wrong [Verse 3] You know how many dumber people you know? So many, right? The whole damn row? You ever stop and run the math on that? Either you're a genius, rare and bright Or the stats are where it's at [Pre-chorus] So I made it simple, simple, simple Killed the nuance, killed the middle Simple, simple, simple Because you're worth it! [Chorus] This is a simple song Short enough to follow along No big words, no long goodbyes No argument you can't decide I wrote it dumb so you'd feel smart A three-chord lie with a two-beat heart This is a simple song And baby, nothing could go wrong [Bridge] Maybe I should've kept my mouth shut Maybe simple was the smarter cut I had a point once, sharp and clean Now I can't remember what it means The books are still there on the shelf I just stopped arguing with myself And honestly? It's kind of a relief [Guitar solo] [Final chorus] This is a simple song Short enough to follow along No big words, no long goodbyes No argument you can't decide I wrote it dumb so you'd feel smart A three-chord lie with a two-beat heart This is a simple song And baby Nothing Could go wrong! [Outro] Simple... Simple... Simple... Because You're Worth It!! [end]
