man of simple pleasures

Lyrics

i'm a man, a man of simple pleasures, i got all i need, so give me whisky measures, with dyslexic eyes i'm 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 seen 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, i'm not gonna be standing in the line, waiting for you just to pick me out, you won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride, you won't take me for a ride
