2 cars, 3 kids, 6 phones
Whole lot of confusion in my home
500 stations, on the TV screen
500 versions of the same ol' thing
Y'all know it's crazy
Drivin' me insane
I don't want to be a superman
I just wanna' go somewhere and use my hands
And keep it simple, real simple
I called my doctor on the telephone
The lines were open, but there was nobody home
Press 1, press 2, press #, press 3
Why can't somebody just pick up the phone
And just talk to me
Y'all know it's crazy
Drivin' me insane
I don't wanna be a superman
I just wanna' go somewhere and use my hands
And keep it simple, real simple
Well I went down to the local coffee store
The menu went from the ceiling
All the way down to the floor
Decaf, cappuccino or latte, said the cashier
(I said) give me a small cup of coffee
And lemme get the hell outta here
Y'all know it's crazy
Drivin' me insane
I don't wanna be a superman
I just wanna' go somewhere and use my hands
And keep it simple, real simple
