Life’s getting way far too complicated
Life’s getting way out of hand
I just want things back plain and simple
Life’s getting way out of hand
Take shopping at the local supermarket
Choice between zillions of brands
All I want’s one brand of coffee
Life’s getting way out of hand
I’m told I keep needing to upgrade
Upgrade and keep up with the Jones
Upgrade so can access the internet
Don’t need internet on my phone
Do this and do that, pressure, pressure
I am the Might Dollar, I rule
You’re greedy, addicted, can’t resist me
I smile while I think, oh you fool

Yes life’s getting like that….how much is because we’re letting ourselves being sucked in and pressured.? Certain things we could be strong and say no to. Sorry, count me out….

Well put. I couldn’t agree more. The incessant insistence on upgrading is particularly put-offing.

Thankyou Ed. Why many people are escaping to simple life in the country. I just had to get my feelings down……
