Used to have time on my hands to do some livin'
Always had a little time to find some peace
There was even time on sunday for the good lord
And I ain't even got the time to stop and breathe
I spent forty hours working for the big man
And fifty more for everybody else
Seems like everybody's looking for a peice of me
And I think it's time to keep some for myself
As a blade I'm burnin' both ends of the candle
Pleasin' everybody else to just get by
I wonder how things got too complicated
Right now I think it's time to simplify
Instrumental
Sombody's always trying to start a fire beneath me
Just to make me go where I don't wanna be
Seems like I'm always hurrying tryin' to please somebody
And I think it's time for someone to set me free
No the boss man ain't got time to bring me water
And the water ain't got time to quench my soul
My soul ain't even got time for the six string
And the dead man keeps me buried in the hole
As a blade I'm burnin' both ends of the candle
Pleasin' evrybody else to just get by
I wonder how things got too complicated
Right now I think it's time to simplify
Instrumental
As a blade I'm burnin' both ends of the candle
Pleasin' everybody else to just get by
I wonder how things got too complicated
Right now I think it's time to simplify
Yeah right now I think it's time to simplify
