You were such a good girl way back then
Always heard half of everything we said
With a fly-away ponytail and an open heart
Look both ways before we step in the street
Led you to water, couldn’t make you drink
But we taught you to swim, so I guess that’s a start
All this time we thought you learned
Now you’re alone and your bridge is burned
Don’t want no trouble on your mind
Simple is good, boring is fine
Simple is good, boring is fine
The American Dream tried and true
It’s the well-worn path we carved out for you
With a picket fence, and a porch with a view
Four long years to get your degree
With money that we borrowed and it wasn’t cheap
Quit foolin’ around, the bill’s coming due
All this time we thought you learned
Now you’re alone and your bridge is burned
Don’t want no trouble on your mind
Simple is good, boring is fine
Simple is good, boring is fine
Don’t want no trouble on your mind
Don’t want no trouble on your mind
Listen here while there’s still time
Normal is easy once you’ve crossed the line
Simple is good, boring is fine
Boring is fine (x6)
