Simplify - Intellectual

[Intro]

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

You left your job to calm the voices in your head

Took long drives instead of laying awake in bed

You left that world you didn’t need anymore

There’s not much left when you ain’t keeping score

They can’t win if you’re determined to be last

You can’t lose if you’re not clinging to your past

You thought your wisdom was heaven sent

But you found freedom on the day you would relent

You play your guitar just to simplify things

You like the feel of those six lonely strings

You bend for no one, and I’ll just let that be

But I need you to bend those strings for me

I need to simplify

Yeah, I need you to bend those strings for me

I need to simplify

The days were getting short, the nights were much too long

Started feeling like something must be wrong

Always rushing, always headed for the door

Maybe looking for a new world to explore

The guitar was both your friend and your art

But it showed you were bruised from the start

The answer was somewhere in the sound

It came from your fingers when no one was around

You play your guitar just to simplify things

You like the feel of those six lonely strings

You bend for no one, and I’ll just let that be

But I need you to bend those strings for me

I need to simplify

Yeah, I need you to bend those strings for me

I need to simplify

You play your guitar just to simplify things

You like the feel of those six lonely strings

You bend for no one, and I’ll just let that be

But I need you to bend those strings for me

I need to simplify

Yeah, I need you to bend those strings for me

I need to simplify
