Why do they have to change  things ?

To complicate our lives

I liked it when the world was simpler

Before this techno jive

All I ever wanted to do

Was to simply hang up the phone

Don’t tell me “this phone’s in use”

When I know I am here alone

I remember when life was easier

Changing channels on tv

Now  there’s  a million choices

And nothing I want to see

Why do they have to change things ?

I just want heat up my tea

I press a million buttons

And it’s way too hot for me

Why do they have to take  out

All the things I enjoyed

All in the interest of good health

And the things I should avoid

I have made to this point in life

With barely a bump or bruise

Maintained my sense of humor

And the ability to amuse

But sometimes things seem so involved

Complicated at best

The world is in a hurry

I just need some time to rest

Why did they have to change  things

But I think I have seen it all

I much prefer the simple life

Let things move at a crawl

I think the view was nicer

At a slower and meaningful pace

Changing things brings much confusion

 And life is not a race
