Inhale
Exhale
No cops, don't sweat, have a cocktail
I've been feeling I've been feeling by your booty
One coke, one coin, new way, tsunami
Cocain, white brain
Make a big flame
Just ignore the noise, we ain't got time
Hold on!
Let goooo
Said we ain't got the time to talk
I know who you are
But I ain't got the time to talk
Who's gonna safe you
Who's your masire
Who's gonna pray for you
(pray for you)

Ohhh
'Cause you think you run the world
(you think you run the world)
But you're caring a marathon
(caring a marathon)
Ignore the country girl
Oh oh ohhhh
But this is the simple life
The dream of the simple life
I can see you crave attention from my ...
Talking loud and taking pictures of yourself
And I know your dreaming sitting on a shelf
Just living that simple life
She spends the mornings wash up in the sun
It looks so small from down here
Strait out the country
She thinks she belongs
But I see the differences, baby
Hold on!
Let goooo
Said we ain't got the time to talk
I know who you are
But I ain't got the time to talk
'Cause you think you run the world

But you're caring a marathon

In the song "Simple Life" by Steinar, the artist talks about finding joy in simple things, without needing to succumb to social norms and pressure. The first few lines of the song present a carefree lifestyle, where the singer can enjoy a cocktail without the fear of getting arrested. He talks about feeling good by his lover's presence and the high of drugs. However, the lyrics soon take a turn into a commentary on society, where the pressure to be successful and famous makes everyone forget to live a simple yet happy life. The singer points out that people have become so obsessed with projecting a perfect image on social media that they have lost touch with reality.
The repeated chorus, "You think you run the world, but you're carrying a marathon," highlights how people are carrying a heavy load of stress and pressure. The singer suggests that instead of aspiring to run the world, we should focus on running our own happiness marathon. The song concludes with a message of simplicity and contentment as the singer notes that the "simple life" is the dream that we all need. The song captures the best essence of life and highlights the importance of living in the present and finding joy in simplicity.
