Easy Life
Deadline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody wants to tell me all their problems
Everybody wants to say what's on their mind
Everybody thinks I just know what to say to them
But I don't care I'm not that kind

They are fighting a losing battle
Talking to a wall would be less trouble
I've had enough of your agony
I've had enough just let me be

[Ref:]
Don't complicate things don't overstate things
Cos all I want is an easy life!

I don't wanna hear about all your problems
Don't wanna know what's on your mind
Can't think of anything to say to you
Cos I don't care I think you'll find...

They are fighting a losing battle
Talking to a wall would be less trouble
I've had enough of your agony
I've had enough just let me be

[Ref:]
Don't complicate things don't overstate things
Cos all I want is an easy life!

They are fighting a losing battle
Talking to a wall would be less trouble
I've had enough of your agony
I've had enough just let me be

[Ref:]




Don't complicate things don't overstate things
Cos all I want is an easy life!
