Quality or quantity
Was the question that man raised
But I'm not sure if we have much choice
So I'll take whatever I can get these days
Living simple ain't so simple anymore
The jokes I used to make about it
They ain't as funny as before
And it's to see where I'm at
I got nowhere to go
But up
Won't you gimme some
Oh gimme
Sometimes living, mostly surviving
I'm in hot water, baby
But won't you come on dive in
Walk with me now
And you'll grow a thick skin
I'm in hot water, baby
But won't you come on dive in
I remember when I was a just a little boy
You could go somewhere in public without hearing
Everybody's beeping toys
Now on a cellphone at a drive thru with a car
"I'll be home in 10 minutes, did you set the vcr?"
These diversions set the tone
We're just fiddling for rome
We're burning down our only home
Sometimes living, mostly surviving
I'm in hot water, baby
But won't you come on dive in
Walk with me now
And you'll grow a thick skin
I'm in hot water, baby
But won't you come on dive in
