Video Description:
Simple Minds is a hard-hitting alt-rock protest song calling out complacent apathy in a society flooded with fake news, as the planet slips into chaos.
Lyrics:
Simple Minds
have simple desires.
Simple Minds
are easily washed and dried.
Simple Minds
don’t question their guidelines.
Simple minds
have a chance
but change nothing.
What is the way?
Who knows it?
Who dares?
Who cares?
Great cities are breathing smog
and drinking poisonous water.
They eat money
and have bad dreams.
Little villages
have nothing
and dream about a pair
of travelling shoes.
To move away
from where they stand
closer to the highway,
to sell pies and hooks
for the simple fish.
Fish-eyes are surprised.
They stare at the moon.
From an icy bath of glass –
their last hotel
before the hell
of the frying pan.
Simple Minds
sip mugs of cheap tea
with a sweetener
of absentmindedness.
They gaze into lightboxes
full of mesmerising movement
and listen to
the vibrations of deceit.
They listen to
the vibrations of deceit.
Oh yeah!
They listen to
the vibrations of deceit.
