A'They don't seem to understand.
I try so hard to make my music tell the truth.
A'Can't you lend a helpin' hand?
You gotta play a simple song for them.
A'That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Well I think that the songs are doin' fine.
Well I can tell what's on their mind.
You lend a hand now I'm doin' all I can
To help the people understand.
You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Oh my Lord I'll try, I'll try and try again.
You gotta play a simple song for them.
That's the only thing they want to love and understand.
Won't you play a simple song for them?
Oh my friend won't you tell me what to do? A'They don't seem to understand. I try so hard to make my music tell the truth. A'Can't you lend a helpin' hand? You gotta play a simple song for them. A'That's the only thing they want to love and understand. Won't you play a simple song for them? Well I think that the songs are doin' fine. Well I can tell what's on their mind.
