Lyrics

Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck
A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest
I went to the good doctor and the good doctor said
You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead
Cut out the struggle and strife
It only complicates your life

Well I cut down women I cut out booze
I stopped ironing my shirts, cleaning my shoes
I stopped going to work, reading the news
I'm sitting twiddling my thumbs cos I got nothing to do
Minimal exercise
To help uncomplicate my life
Gotta stand and face it life is so complicated
Ladi dah di dahdah, ladi dah di dah dah
Got to get away from the complicated life son
Life is overated, life is complicated
Must aleviate this, complicated life

Like old mother hubbard
I got nothin' in the cupboard
Got no dinner and I got no supper
Holes in my shoes I got holes in my socks
I can't go to work cos I can't get a job
The bills are rising sky high
It's such a complicated life
Gotta stand and face it
Life is so complicated
