Bilingual
No such thing as a simple song
I'm convinced, oh, I should know
Words can mean different things
From day to day, they change their meaning
Ain't no straight down the line
Crooked things don't lie
The way I hit your heart sometimes, yeah
I swear it wasn't evil
I'm waitin', tryin' to write my masterpiece
And it's comin' out the rhythm
Got 20 years and a nickel
Guess I shoulda been smarter
It shouldn't take much longer
Than 20 years and a nickel

I looked to the headlines
As a rich man tryin' to buy you
ย
Maybe there's a song with you
About how too much of nothin' makes you crazy
Try and make it civil
Human nature will defy you
ย
Down on the corner, there's an expert
Sayin' he don't like it
I'm waitin', tryin' to write my masterpiece
And it's comin' out the rhythm
Got 20 years and a nickel
Guess I shoulda been smarter
It shouldn't take much longer
Than 20 years and
I'm waitin', tryin' to write my masterpiece
And it's comin' out the rhythm
Got 20 years and a nickel
Guess I shoulda been smarter
It shouldn't take much longer
Than 20 years and a nickel
