Man of Simple Pleasures

I'm a man

A man of simple pleasures

I got all I need

So give me whisky measures

With dyslexic eyes

Seeing very clearly by the way

I'm on my way

But all of my life

I've been treated like a fool

But I'm no one's fool

Here I go once again

Trying hard to pretend

There's a future in your man-made rules

I'll be governed by the road

Get to shed this heavy load

I see no future

So leave me alone in the past

I am told

The world is nearly ending

But when I look outside

The birds are always singing

You throw sticks and bones

Remember every dog will have its day

I'm on my way

But all of my life

I've been treated like a fool

But I'm no one's fool

Here I go once again

Trying hard to pretend

There's a future in your man-made rules

I'll be governed by the road

Get to shed this heavy load

I've see your future

So leave me alone in the past

Go on

Let the righteous guide you home

To where you belong

I'll stay dancing to my favourite tune

That's where I belong

You won't take me for a ride

I'm far too fast for you to keep up with me

You won't take me for a ride

Never catch the man that need no money

You won't take me for a ride (I'm not gonna be standing in the line)

You won't take me for a ride (Waiting for you just to pick me out)

You won't take me for a ride

You won't take me for a ride, I'll calm down
