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 doctor and the good doctor said "I 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, I stopped reading the news I sit and twiddle my thumbs 'cos I got nothing to do Minimal exercise, to help uncomplicate my life Gotta stand and face it life is so complicated You gotta get away from the complicated life, son Life is overrated, life is complicated, must alleviate this complicated life Cut out the struggle and strife It's such a complicated life Like old mother Hubbard, I've 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 Gotta get away from the complicated life, son Life is overrated, life is complicated, must alleviate this complicated life Life is overrated, life is complicated, Life must get away this complicated life Life is overrated, life is complicated, must alleviate this complicated life Gotta get away from the complicated life, son Gotta get away from the complicated life
