Keep It Simple Lyrics & Chords By Van Morrison

Mocked me when I was singing the songs
Trying to get back to something more simple than we have
They mocked me? cause I told it like it was
Wrote about disappointment and greed
Wrote about what we really didn? t need in our lives
Make us feel alive and whole
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
And straight reality is always cold
Saying something hard edged is off the wall
And it might seem too bold
Mocked me when it got out of hand
Nobody tried to understand
Now we got to keep it simple and that? s that
Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
And straight reality is always cold
Saying something hard edged is off the wall
And it just might be too bold
Well, I? m down here on the running board
Where I? ve been many times before
But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves
Mocked me when I tried to get back
Said the train was completely off the track
And we got to get back to something simple to save ourselves
Whoa, we got to get back to something simple
Just to save yourselves
Well, got to get back to something simple
Just to save yourselves
Well, you got to keep it simple
Keep it simple just to
And that? s that
Whoa, you got to keep it simple nowadays
And that? s just that
Whoa, whoa, you got to keep it simple nowadays
And that? s just the way it is
And you got to keep it simple these days
? Cause that? s the way it is
Well, you got to keep it, keep it simple
And that? s that
