Simple Creed

[Verse 1: Ed Kowalczyk]

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

Now, nobody's takin' your candy

You just keep on livin' this tragedy

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

To each his own, but...

[Chorus: Ed Kowalczyk]

I'll wait for you to understand

'Cause we need each other

We gotta love each other

Yeah

[Verse 2: Ed Kowalczyk]

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 hiding from you

Now, nobody's takin' your bicycle

Maybe somebody should take your microphone

La-la-la-la-la-la-la

To each his own, but...

[Chorus: Ed Kowalczyk]

I'll wait for you to understand

That we need each other

We gotta love each other (I'll wait for you to understand)

That we need each other (I'll wait for you to take my hand)

[Verse 3: Tricky]

Someone should take your microphone

Someone should leave their life at home

Someone will take your bubblegum

Someone will take your life and run

Always, listen always

And you're always, walking hallways

Try again, lie again

I don't admit

That you don't know love

I don't make love

That you don't show love

That you don't know love

That you won't know love

[Chorus: Ed Kowalczyk]

I'll wait for you to take my

I'll 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

We need each other

Yeah, we gotta love each other

We need each other, yeah

We gotta love - gotta love each other!
