Grinding on his teeth as he heads out west
With a pistol on his hip
And a bullet in his chest
The sun cracks its whip
Sweat drips stings his eyes
Reality's grip is severing its ties

Cause he walked the life of a simple man,
Some see the bodies but they don't understand
On his way through shifting sands
He got a one way ticket to the end

He knows the world won't ever change,
He got to live it his own way
Now getting what was taken
The beast inside has waken
He knows the world won't ever change

Staring at the lights
That embrace a desert sky
A sight he's never seen
Like the full moon in his eye
Hollow headed strangers
On a path to the unknown,
Chasing after fortune
Like a king without his throne

He stands at the edge of what he can't understand
With a smile on his face and a gun in his hand
No need for questions,
No time to spare,
He got a burden he can't bare

He knows the world won't ever change,
He got to live it his own way
Now getting what was taken
The beast inside has waken
He knows the world won't ever change

Losing touch, I can see,
Minds enslaved, lust and greed
Nothing you can take from me,
Let my work be done

He's just a simple man
He's just a simple man
He's just a simple man
You wouldn't understand

He's just a simple man
He's just a simple man
He's just a simple man
You wouldn't understand

He knows the world won't ever change,
He got to live it his own way
Now getting what was taken
The beast inside has waken
He knows the world won't ever change
