This song is kind of a reflection on the "8 Trackology" song Related to an Aging Tycoon (3 Boys). Musically the two are very different. In fact, the melody from "Simple Man" must be from somebody else's composition. If you know who - lay it on me. Originally conceived back in 1995 in the vocal booth at Sonic Underground Studios, Stony Brook, NY.

lyrics

SIMPLE MAN

In the office by the cooler sits a simple man
Shooting paper clips across a crowded room
He plays paddle ball and eats himself a cheese and ham
And there’s nothing anyone can do

He inherited the business from his mom and dad
Has no clue at what they did to make it run
It’s the perfect cosmic role for a simple man
The workers down the hall call him dumb
But their paycheck’s underneath his thumb

Hold on now - man you must be joking
What you say makes little to no sense
Hold on now - what is that your smoking
Man that cat is pretty dense

When it’s time to punch the clock to end another day
All his snarky minions toss him off a frown
But this simple man knows better than to turn away
He holds a pink slip high to keep them guessing
Who’ll be next to get the axe in the mail?

Hold on now - man you must be joking
What you say makes little to no sense
Hold on now - what is that your smoking
Man that cat is pretty dense

Hold on now - man you must be joking
What you say makes little to no sense
Hold on now - what is that your smoking
Man that cat is pretty intense

The wonder of inheritance
