SMPL WSDM Lyrics

I don't walk in your shoes

And mine are too big to fit you too soon

Simple wisdom says slow down

Let it come

Don't gotta rush right now

You could work on someone

But you're busy telling me how the job gets done

Simple wisdom says slow down

You could burn bright or

You could burn all down right now

You talk me up and down about

things I've got that you still want and

I tell you how to get all of it

Slow ly

If you're feeling behind just talk about it

You wanna get high just talk about it

Rather hear it now before you do something

That can't be undone

You start catchin' on

And now you move in the apartment with a man I can trust

Simple wisdom says slow down

But you pulled off

And I know where you'll go right now

I let you talk me up and down

About things you want when you grow up

Watched you grow impatient with

All of it, slowly

If ya still feel small just talk about it

If ya wanna move on just talk about it

Leave it to a child's mind to get

Everything you want right now

Sunday Matt kicked your door

Now you're just another stat

On a bathroom floor now

The simple wisdom said slow down

I listened when you talked all about

The things you want when you grow up and

I wish I could give you all of it slowly

Another one dies let's talk about it

Another sad thought let's talk about it

And I still regret what I said

before you were dead

"The entire globe

Even as it trembles in passion with the birth of new nations

And shrinks in the hand of a dispassionate science

Is today the site of a momentous conflict

As each side attempts to prove to the world the superiority of its position

The conflict is faught with the words of diplomats

With gestures of friendship and help…"
