[Chorus: Joan Shelley]
It's so simple, you and me
It's so simple, you and me
We got everything, everything
Everything that we need
It's so simple, you and me
It's so simple, you and me
We got everything, everything
Everything that we need
[Verse 1: Howell Dawdy]
Item one, subject agrees that human beings flourish
When given support and a little bit of space
Item two, subject agrees she can't disprove
That the government's in contact with an advanced alien race
Item three, she agrees shе enters this willfully
Four, she acknowlеdges almost everything ends miserably
But five, she admits we should be content to be alive
Even if I forget her birthday or catch her back porch on fire
Item six, parties agree to sleep in shifts
Item seven, parties agree we need a security pit
Item eight, it is worse to be early than late
Better distant than fake, better a loner than a flake
Item nine, she agrees to not take pictures of me when I am bored And show them to me later when I am still bored
Item ten, she agrees our culture is too clean
There's too much trust in machines and discourse is too mean
[Pre-Chorus]
Also, she admits the right path is hard to foresee
Especially with lizards everywhere controlling our dreams
So when she finds me on the floor swaddled in existential doubt She agrees to remind me we're all equally freaked out
[Chorus: Joan Shelley]
It's so simple, you and me
It's so simple, you and me
We got everything, everything
Everything that we need
It's so simple, you and me
It's so simple, you and me
We got everything, everything
Everything that we need
[Verse 2: Howell Dawdy]
Item 11, subject agrees we are not ready for children
But more importantly, they are not ready for us
Item 12, subject agrees to tell me my hair sucks
If it sucks, and not be diplomatic or ambiguous
Item 13, she agrees not to try to convince me
That psychics are interesting in any way
And 14, she agrees that we need to delete
Any correspondence that mentions our names or birthdays
(It's so simple)
Subject agrees in full with the following critical analysis of Short Circuit 1 and 2:
1. Ostensibly an analogy for the dangers of the military industrial complex, the film is less about robotics than it is about respect for the mystery of the self
2. Therefore the underlying message is that the free will of a self-possessed soul, however wretched, should trump the interests of a collective hierarchy, however strong
3. Spoiler alert: Giving citizenship to a robot with a soul implies the world of the films has acquired proof in the dualistic nature of that self
And 4. Despite the absence of Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy and the inherent deficiencies of a blockbuster sequel, the supporting cast, location, and 5's character development make the second film superior to the first
[Bridge: Joan Shelley]
But we got each other and that's all that we need
We each got a lover and that's all that we need
We don't need any other 'cause our love's guaranteed
Sign on the line, baby, this contract is our love decreed
[Verse 3: Howell Dawdy]
Item 15, subject agrees to not force moments of linear reflection i.e. broad causal factors for a perceived failure
16, she agrees that the attached list of bedroom activities are at least on the table
17, she agrees to not say "begging the question" when she means "raising the question"
And 18, she agrees the word homage isn't French and therefore shouldn't qualify for a French pronunciation
Furthermore, she agrees the moon landing was faked
But only because it's already populated with Mormons
Both parties agree life is more interesting
If we presume our deaths are already predetermined
[Pre-Chorus]
Also, she admits the right path is hard to foresee
Especially with lizards everywhere controlling our dreams
So when she finds me on the floor swaddled in existential doubt She agrees to remind me we're all equally freaked out
[Chorus: Joan Shelley]
It's so simple, you and me
It's so simple, you and me
We got everything, everything
Everything that we need
It's so simple, you and me
It's so simple, you and me
We got everything, everything
Everything that we need
It's so simple
[Outro: Howell Dawdy]
It's pretty simple
Just me and you
Did we talk about pets already?
What do you- uh what did you say?
