Simple Creed (Acoustic Version) (Overcome, CD5, 2001)

Born with your back to the god that 
Spit you out on the riverbed 
Angry at who? Me? 
You better back up fool 
I bet you took a gun to school, too 

But now, nobody's takin' your candy 
You just keep on livin' this tragedy 
La da da da da da da, to each his own 
But I wait for you to take my hand 
'Cause we need each other 
We gotta love each other, yeah 

Born with your back to the god that 
Picked you up by your puppy scruff 
Angry at who? Me? 
You better back up fool 
And be grateful that the real me's always hidin' from you 

Now, nobody's takin your bicycle 
Maybe somebody should take your microphone 
La da da da da da da, to each his own 
But I wait for you to understand 
That we need each other 
We gotta love each other 
That we need each other 

Someone 
Just take your microphone 
Someone 
Should leave the light on 
Someone 
Take your bubblegum 
Someone 
Take your life away 

Always 
Washin' hallways 
You're always 
Walkin' hallways 

Try again 
Lie again 
Come with me 
Whom we love 
Whom we love 

Now, don't shoot up 
Gonna hold on 
To whom we love 

I wait for you to take my 
I wait for you to take my hand 

Yeah, 'cause we need each other 
You know? We gotta love each other 
'Cause we need each other, yeah 
We gotta love, gotta love each other 

This simple creed of love is all I follow 
We need each other 
This simple creed of love is all I follow 
Hey, we gotta love each other 
This simple creed of love is all I follow 
You know? We need each other 
This simple creed of love is all I follow 
Yeah, we gotta love 
Gotta love each other
