Simple Solution (parts 1 & 2) Lyrics - Nazareth

Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day 

I got problems of my own on the way 

So look you now, where the locusts abound 

Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground 

Vibrations, are burning my hands 

Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands 

Defending the need, with a silent scream 

For another time, for another dream 

Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and the spray guns 

We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation 

It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution 

Send me down a simple solution now 

No cheap, clean, is gonna wash away my blues 

I need a real good friend, he's gonna give me some clues 

The one on the cross, he had it boss he was really gonna spread the news 

But the destruct mutt, he's back in business he ain't about to lose 

Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and spray guns 

We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation 

It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution 

Send me down a simple solution now 

And the price for life 

Is one more run on that chicken wire 

As the hero returns, with eyes of fire 

To another man to man, sit down you man 

Old man don't tell me what you did in your day 

I've got problems of my own on the way 

So look you now, where the locusts abound 

Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground 

Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and the spray guns 

We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation 

It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution 

Send me down a simple solution now
